Applying maintenance level updates on Linux Ubuntu using Debian packages

Follow these instructions to apply a fix pack, for example IBM MQ Version 9.1.0, Fix Pack 1, to IBM MQ on Linux using Debian packages.

Before starting

Important: We must stop all IBM MQ queue managers, other objects, and applications, before you begin the process to modify IBM MQ.

Procedure

Stop all IBM MQ applications associated with the installation we are modifying, if you have not already done so.
Log in as root.
Go to the local directory where the file with the IBM MQ Version 9.1.0, Fix Pack 1is located.

Unpack the file:

# tar -zxvf 9.2.0-IBM-MQ-UbuntuLinuxX64-FP0001.tar.gz

Using the ls command results in the following list of extracted files:

# ls

Packages.gz

Use the apt management tool to install the IBM MQ packages that we want, along with their dependency packages:
1. Use the cd command and go to the directory:
```
# cd /etc/apt/sources.list.d
```
2. use the vi command to update the file:
```
# vi IBM_MQ.list
```
  This file should contain the deb entry for the location of the directory that contains the IBM MQ packages for the Fix Pack.
3. Add the following lines to the end of the file:
```
+ begin (ignore this line)
deb [trusted=yes] file:/downloads/mq9201 ./
+ end (ignore this line)
```
Use the apt command to install IBM MQ Version 9.2.0, Fix Pack 1.
```
# apt install "ibmmq-*-u9201*"
```

Issue the following command to show the installed file sets for IBM MQ in the Debian database:

# apt list 'ibmmq-*'
