Installing interim fixes

Install selected interim fixes to specific installation targets to update your product environment. The IBM Update Installer for WebSphere Software is the tool that you use to apply maintenance to your WebSphere® Extended Deployment and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment environments.

Before you begin

About this task

Complete the following steps to install interim fixes for both WebSphere Virtual Enterprise and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.

Procedure

  1. Start the wizard from the administrative console:
    1. Click System administration > Centralized Installation Manager > Available installations.
    2. Select Interim fix as the package type. Next, select the maintenance installation package.

      If you previously downloaded any interim fixes by using the Add or remove packages function, each interim fix is displayed in the list that displays below the Select one or more maintenance packs field. Select one or more interim fixes from this list.

    3. Click Show installation targets to populate the table with a list of applicable target workstations on which to install the selected interim fixes. After you select one or more installation targets, click Install to start the Installation wizard.
  2. Read and accept the license agreement. Click View License Agreement to read the agreement, accept the terms, and click Next to continue.
  3. Select an authentication method to access the installation target, and click Next. You can select to either use the Secure Shell (SSH) public/private key method or the user name and password method to authenticate.
  4. Provide your authentication information, and click Next.

    Depending on the authentication method that you choose in step 3, provide the appropriate user name and password for one or more installation targets, or provide the location of the SSH private key file and password on the deployment manager.

    If you choose to authenticate by using the user name and password method, you can provide a common user name and password to access all of the installation targets, or you can configure unique user names and passwords for each target.

  5. Verify the installation and the working locations of each installation target, and click Next.

    The installation location is the remote location of each installation target in which the packages are installed. The working location specifies the directory on the remote target where the files are sent before the package is installed in the specified location.

  6. Read the installation summary, and click Finish to submit the installation request to the centralized installation manager for processing.

Results

Your installation request is sent to the centralized installation manager for processing. Check the status of your request from the Installations in progress panel in the administrative console. You can review the log files for each of the installation requests that you submit from the Installation history panel.

What to do next

Update the deployment manager workstation with same interim fixes that you install on the product. For more information, see Using the Update Installer to install maintenance packages.
