You can install updates for packages that were installed
with IBM® Installation Manager. Package updates provide
fixes and updates to installed features and might also include new
features that you can install using the Modify Packages wizard.
Before you begin
By default, Internet access is required unless your repository
preferences points to your local update site.
Each installed package
has the location embedded for its default IBM update
repository. For Installation Manager to search the IBM update
repository locations for the installed packages, the preference Search
service repositories during installation and updates on
the Repositories preference page must be selected. This preference
is selected by default.
See the Installation Manager help for more
information.
Note: - Close all programs that were installed using Installation Manager.
- Close the Eclipse and Visual Studio IDEs, as well as any open
Web browsers, and all other applications that are enabled by Rational
Functional Tester.
Procedure

- If IBM Installation Manager is
not detected on your system or if an older version is already installed,

Note: During the update process, Installation Manager might
prompt you for the location of the repository for the base version
