Installing service on Windows

Apply maintenance updates to WebSphere Message Broker.

Before applying a maintenance update, download the update as described in Applying service to runtime components.
To install the updates that you have downloaded 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. If possible, use the same ID as the one that 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. Exit all Windows programs before applying maintenance to WebSphere Message Broker to ensure data is not lost.
  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.

    The installer extracts the update files and runs automatically according to your chosen arguments.
  6. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program and provide any input that is required to complete the installation.
When you have completed installation, review the multiplatform memo supplied in the directory readmes, and complete any manual post-installation tasks that are required.
