Upgrading from another release

If you have a previous version of the product, review the following information.

You can upgrade the product to the current release by using the Update wizard in IBM Installation Manager.

Earlier versions of this product can coexist on the same computer, but you cannot install the current release into the same package group.

Restriction: Starting with IBM Data Studio full client Version 3.1.1, the product base is Eclipse 3.6.x. Because products that are based on Eclipse 3.4.x are not compatible with products that are based on Eclipse 3.6.x, you cannot use the Update wizard to update IBM Data Studio full client Version 3.1 to Version 3.1.1. You must install IBM Data Studio full client Version 3.1.1 into a new package group or an existing package group that contains other compatible products. For information about other compatible products, see Compatibility with other products.
To update with the Update wizard:
  1. Mount the media or extract the contents of the compressed file to a temporary directory.
  2. Open Installation Manager and click File > Preferences.
  3. In the Preferences window, click Add Repository.
  4. Enter the media_root_path\disk1\diskTag.inf path in the Repositories field, and click OK.
  5. Click OK again to close the Preferences window.
  6. Click Update to open the Update Packages wizard, and follow the steps of the wizard.
