Updates preference console mode
Use the update preference to search for updates to IBM Installation Manager.When you enable the update preference, Installation Manager searches for updates to itself when you install, modify or update a package.
When the IBM product you are installing requires a newer version of Installation Manager, you must update Installation Manager. When a newer version is required, you are prompted to update Installation Manager even if Search for Installation Manager updates is cleared. When the installed version is newer than the version included with the IBM product, Installation Manager remains at the current version. Installation Manager is backwards compatible.
