Installing service on Windows

Before applying a maintenance update, download the update as described in Applying service to runtime components.
To apply maintenance updates to WebSphere Message Broker:
  1. Ensure that the user ID you are logged on with is a member of the Windows Administrator group in the local security domain. You are recommended to use the same ID as the one you used for installing WebSphere Message Broker.
  2. Ensure that all WebSphere Message Broker function is stopped. You must:
    1. Stop execution of the Configuration Manager, the User Name Server, and all brokers on this system using the mqsistop command, or by stopping the Windows services for these components from Start > Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
    2. Stop execution of the workbench
    3. Ensure that you do not have any WebSphere Message Broker files open.
  3. You are also strongly recommended to exit all Windows programs before applying maintenance to WebSphere Message Broker
  4. Change to the directory into which you downloaded the fix pack file (Unnnnnn.exe).
  5. In Windows Explorer, right-click the fix pack file and select Open. Alternatively, enter the following command at a command prompt: FixPackLauncher [-s] -a install_arguments , where

    FixPackLauncher is the full path to the fix pack executable file, for example U200208.exe.

    -s is optional and means that the fix pack launcher extracts silently. If you omit this, a progress of extraction panel is displayed.

    -a means 'read in the following install arguments'.

    install_arguments are the arguments that determine how the installer runs. For more information about install arguments, see Modes of installation and uninstallation.

After successful extraction the installer runs automatically according to the chosen arguments. Follow the instructions on the install panels.
When you have completed installation, review the multiplatform memo supplied in the directory readmes, and complete any manual post-installation tasks required.
