Before you begin
Download and install the IBM Update Installer for WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0.x. See Updating WebSphere XD environment with maintenance packages for more information.
About this task
Use the Update Installer to apply maintenance packages to your existing middleware agent installations. To successfully update the middleware agent with WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1.0.3, also install the IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition 1.5 SR7 Cumulative Fix for WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0.17.
Procedure
- Download the IBM SDK 1.5 SR7 Cumulative Fix for WebSphere Application Server Version 6.1.0.17 into the updi_root/maintenance directory. See the IBM SDK 1.5 SR7 Cumulative Fix for WebSphere Application Server download Web site.
- Download WebSphere Extended Deployment V6.1.0.3 into the updi_root/maintenance directory. See the Support site for WebSphere Extended Deployment for more information.
- Use the Update Installer to individually install each maintenance package. You can install the maintenance packages by running the graphical user interface (GUI), or by running the Update Installer in silent mode.
Issue the following command from the updi_root directory to start the GUI:
- update.bat
- ./update.sh
Issue the following command from the updi_root directory to run the Update Installer in silent mode:
- update.bat -silent -options responsefile\file_name
- ./update.sh -silent -options responsefile/file_name
If the installation process fails, then refer to the temporary log file, which is located in the updi_root/logs/update/tmp directory.
Click Relaunch on the last panel of the Update Installer to install the second maintenance package after the tool installs the first maintenance package.
