Updating HCL OneTest UI

For some releases, 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

See Installing the product for release-specific installation and upgrade instructions.

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.

You can upgrade HCL OneTest UI from version 9.2.1 to version 9.2.1.1. If you have a version earlier than 9.2.1, you must uninstall it before installing version 9.2.1.

See the Installation Manager help for more information.
Note:
  • Close all programs that were installed using Installation Manager.
  • Close Eclipse, as well as any open web browsers, and all other applications that are enabled by HCL OneTest UI.
