In the development environment, you
can install the fix pack and feature packs using the IBM Installation
Manager. Use the Update wizard to install
fix packs.
Before you begin
- Stop any applications running on your machine.
- Disable any test server that you have configured on your machine.
- Log on as a user with Administrator privileges.
Attention: If you are planning to install
Feature Pack 1 using Installation Manager 1.4 or Installation Manager
1.5, you require an Interim Fix. Review the
Interim
Fix for more information.
About this task
During feature enablement,
you might intermittently receive a FileNotFoundException message.
These messages can be ignored. For more information, see JR40912.
Procedure
-
Uninstall any interim fixes that you currently have installed that are not
part of the newer feature pack that you are going to install.
See
APARs fixed in WebSphere Commerce feature packs for a list of
APARs fixed in each feature pack. Feature packs are cumulative, so
the latest feature pack includes the fixes for APARs fixed in all lower-level
feature packs.
Note: Record all interim fixes that you uninstall. After
you install the feature pack, you must contact support to obtain a
new version of any APAR that was not included in it.
Tip: In some cases, a feature pack upgrade might fail because there are fixes installed
on your system that conflict with fixes that are included in the newer feature pack. It is
recommended that you uninstall all the interim fixes that are specific to your current feature pack
before you upgrade to the newer feature pack.
- In Installation Manager, click Update.
The Installation Manager searches its defined repositories for
available packages.
- On the Update Packages page, select WebSphere
Commerce Developer package and click Next.
- The Installation Manager detects all of the applicable
products in the package. Ensure the latest version of WebSphere Commerce
Developer fix pack and feature pack are selected and click Next.
- Accept the license agreements and click Next.
- The feature pack and fix pack will be automatically preselected.
Click Next.
On the configuration
enablement features panel, you can choose what features to enable
and click Install to install the updates.
If you choose
None, no Feature Pack features
will be enabled. If you want to enable any features after installation,
see
Enabling features.
Important: If
you plan to use DB2 Version 9.7 as your development database you must
not enable features during feature pack installation. Select None.
After you install the feature pack, you can set the development database
type and then enable features.
- Review the summary information and click Update to
install the updates.
- After installation is complete, check the final
page to ensure there are no warnings or errors.
- Take one of the following actions:
- Close IBM Installation Manager.
Open First Steps and learn more about
what you can do now that you have installed the feature pack.
- If you enabled any ifeatures during installation, you must
republish the application after the installation is complete:
- Open WebSphere Commerce Developer and switch to the
Enterprise Explorer view.
- Rebuild any projects that need to be rebuilt in the
workspace.
- Start the WebSphere Commerce Test Server. Some errors
are displayed in the console; these errors can be safely ignored.
- In the Servers view, right-click the test server then
click Publish.
- Wait for the application to finish publishing and to
restart. Ensure that no errors are displayed.
- Reinstall the interim fixes that you uninstalled
in Step 1,
making sure that you obtain the appropriate version for the newly-installed
feature pack.
- Enable the features that you want.
To enable features, see Enabling features.
