Applying service to the Message Brokers Toolkit

Apply maintenance updates and program fixes to the Message Brokers Toolkit.

Before you apply a fix pack or other service pack to the Message Brokers Toolkit, you might want to preserve the resources that you have created or imported into the workspace. For details of this task, see Backing up the Message Brokers Toolkit workspace.

The Message Brokers Toolkit uses the Rational® Product Updater (RPU) to install service updates. Follow these instructions to install any available updates to the Message Brokers Toolkit. Sometimes, updates to the information center are also made available through RPU, and you can apply these updates in the same way.
