Use the Installation Manager to install fixes

Periodically fix packs are released to integrate product code fixes. Between fix pack releases, interim fixes may be recommended or required to ensure product reliability and stability. The Recommended fixes page provides links to fix pack and interim fix downloads, information about what is recommended and what is required, and links to recommended related product fixes. To find the most current service update information, see the Recommended fixes link. Use the IBM Installation Manager update function to update the product files, and then run the ConfigEngine command to update the profile.

To install fixes:

CAUTION: The information in these files are basic instructions. Before making changes to the system, review all readme files included with the fixes for complete instructions.

A fix is considered an interim fix, a cumulative fix, or a fix pack.

During the installation, several temporary IBM WebSphere Application Server fixes are installed. When we install the first fix, a warning displays to uninstall the temporary fixes. Uninstall the temporary fixes and then install your fixes.

1. Launch the Installation Manager.

2. Add the repository containing the fix.

3. Test the repository connection and provide authentication credentials, if necessary, to access the directory where the repositories are stored.

4. Select Update to install the fix.

5. Select or enter the fix level.

6. After accepting the license agreement and reviewing the summary information, run the process to install the fix.

7. When we have installed the fix, run the APPLY-FIX task from the WP_PROFILE/ConfigEngine to update the profile.

   If we have more than one profile, run the ConfigEngine command for each profile.
