Installing an IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition Fix Pack
Fix Packs are cumulative, so you can install an IBM® WebSphere® MQ File Transfer Edition Fix Pack on top of any previous WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition version or fix pack. The fix pack installer uses your existing product configuration so you are not asked to enter any configuration information during fix pack installation. There are three versions of the fix pack: one for each version of IBM WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition (Server, Client, or Remote Tools and Documentation).
Before you begin
If you want to use the graphical installer with Java™-compatible screen reader software for accessibility reasons, see Using the graphical installer with a screen reader.
To install WebSphere MQ File Transfer Edition on UNIX and Linux systems, you must have write access to the location that you want to use for the installation directory. If you originally used an installation directory in your home directory rather than the default installation directory, do not use a tilde character (~) as a path prefix. Specify the directory path name in full. If you use a tilde character, this character causes an InstallAnywhere error meaning that the product is not installed and you must repeat the installation process.
