You can search for product updates and install the updates
for your IBM product.
Before you begin
By default, Internet access is required unless your repository
preferences points to a 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, select the preference Search
service repositories during installation and updates on
the Repositories preference page. This preference is selected by default.
See
the Installation Manager help for more information.
Important: - Close all programs that were installed using Installation Manager
before updating.
- During the update process, Installation Manager might prompt you
for the location of the repository for the base version of the package.
If you installed the product from CDs or other media, they must be
available when you use the update feature.
