Update all installed packages using imcl commands

We use the updateAll command to search for and install updates for installed packages.

Some packages require entitlement for versions or fixes. If we are not entitled for an update, the update is not installed during the installation process. Entitlement is based on your IBM ID credentials. For information about entitlement, see IBM Entitlement Help.

Procedure

To find and install available updates for installed packages:

1. Open the tools directory.

2. Run the command for your operating system:

   imcl updateAll 	[ -connectPassportAdvantage ]
   	[ -installFixes [none|recommended|all] ]
   	[ -installationDirectory installation_directory ]
   	[ -masterPasswordFile masterPasswordFilePath ]
   	[ -prompt ]
   	[ -properties key1=val1(,key2=val2,...) ]
   	[ -repositories repository(,repository2...) ]
   	[ -secureStorageFile secureStorageFilePath ]
   

   Use this command to update all installed packages in all install locations from service repositories and repositories defined in the Installation Manager preferences. We can use the -repositories option to override the list of repositories in Installation Manager. We can use the -installationDirectory option to update the installed packages in one directory.

   This command can be used only with the following commands:

   -silent, -s

   This command cannot be combined with the following commands:

   input, -input script file

   install packageId(_Version)(,featureN,featureM,...)...

   uninstall packageId(_Version)(,featureN,featureM,...)...

   uninstallAll

   import

   modify packageID(_Version)

   rollback packageID(_Version)...

Results

All available package updates that Installation Manager manages are installed.
