Updating the instance interactively
After installing the WebSphere Commerce fix pack, use the interactive method to update any existing instances to the same fix pack level.
Before you begin
Important:
- If you have a database performance concern, consider having your database administrator tune the database before the fix pack update to the WebSphere Commerce or WebSphere Commerce Payments instance. If the database is poorly tuned, the update command might run a long time. See your database manual for specifics of tuning the database.
- Each new WebSphere Commerce or WebSphere Commerce Payments instance that is created after you applied the fix pack to your WebSphere Commerce installation directory, is created at that specific fix pack level. You are not required to update the WebSphere Commerce or WebSphere Commerce Payments instance to the fix pack level.
- If you have multiple WebSphere Commerce or WebSphere Commerce Payments instances created you must repeat the installation of the fix pack, for each instance.
- If you have both a staging and a production environment, you must
perform the steps outlined in Step 4 of Installing WebSphere Commerce fix packs interactively to ensure that:
- The environments are synchronized.
- You have made note of the latest STAGLOG record.
- All other activities on the staging server are stopped before the fix pack is installed and the instance is updated.
