Updating IBM software in HCL Commerce Docker images

Important IBM software updates for HCL Commerce production environments are delivered in new release Docker images. Use the instructions in this section to apply these updates.

If you have developed custom images, building them on top of the latest available release is the recommended method for keeping your site up-to-date.

If you want to continue to use older HCL Commerce images, rebuild your custom images to manually include any important IBM software stack updates.

In a typical deployment, these updates span multiple containers, and include both fix packs, interim fix, and IBM Java SDK updates for WebSphere Application Server, WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5 Liberty, IBM HTTP Server, and WebSphere Application Server Web Server Plugins.

Procedure

Results

Your custom Docker image is generated, containing any updated prerequisite IBM software. You must repeat this process for each HCL Commerce image with IBM software in your deployment. Then, you must fully test and deploy these images into your production environment.
