Install Liberty interim fixes and fix packs on distributed operating systems
Interim fixes provide corrective service for specific known problems. Fix packs contain bundled service to bring WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core up to a new level. We can use IBM Installation Manager to update the offering with the interim fixes and fix packs available for the service level of WAS Liberty Core.
Contact the IBM Software Support Center for information about updates for Liberty Core. The most current information is available from the IBM Software Support Center and Fix Central.
IBM Installation Manager is used to apply and remove maintenance.
Important: Installation Manager can install any fix-pack level of the product directly without installing the intermediate fix packs; in fact, Installation Manager installs the latest level by default. For example, we can skip fix-pack levels and go from v8.5.5.1 directly to v8.5.5.5. Keep in mind, however, that later we can not roll back to any level that was skipped. If you directly install to v8.5.5.5, for example, we cannot roll back to v8.5.5.4. If you skip from v8.5.5.1 to v8.5.5.5, we can only roll back to v8.5.5.1. We should plan the installations accordingly.
We can use the IBM Packaging Utility to generate a new local or web-based repository containing all of the fixes to install and then use Installation Manager to update WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core with all of the interim fixes as a group. For information on using the Packaging Utility, see the IBM Installation Manager Information Center.
