Before you install an additional product or tier to an
existing installation by using the InfoSphere® Information Server suite installer, use
these instructions to install a new version of the Update Installer.
This
file is an attachment to the support document, Updating IBM® InfoSphere Information
Server, Version 11.3 with patches,
fix packs, or other updates
When
you install an additional product or tier after you install InfoSphere Information Server, you use the InfoSphere Information Server suite installer. The
suite installer and the Update Installer share certain files. Therefore,
you are required to install the latest version of the Update Installer
before you use the suite installer.
Note: If
you are updating a WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment
cluster installation and the web server configuration has changed,
you need complete some additional steps before installing the update
package. For more information, see
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21695136.
The installation package contains
a script that replaces the required files on the installation instance.
Run the script on every computer
that contains an installation instance and from which you will run
the Update Installer.
To install a new version of the Update
Installer on an installation instance:
- Download version 11.7.1.095 of the Update Installer
at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/712531.
- Create a new temporary directory to contain only the files that
you will extract from the Update Installer package. It is important
that the temporary directory is empty. If you have other files in
that temporary directory, the script that updates the Update Installer
will copy those files along with the files from the Update Installer
package.
- Extract the contents of the Update Installer package into the
new temporary directory.
- Complete the steps for your operating system:
- Linux, UNIX:
- Change to the temporary directory where you extracted the contents
of the latest version of the Update Installer.
- Run updateImage.sh.
- Windows:
- Change to the temporary directory where you extracted the contents
of the latest version of the Update Installer.
- Run updateImage.bat. If you run the file
from the command line, use the Windows shell.
- When prompted, enter the location of the _uninstall directory
in the directory of the installation instance. The default installation directories:
- Linux, UNIX: /opt/IBM/InformationServer/_uninstall
- Windows: C:\IBM\InformationServer\_uninstall
After the script runs successfully, the installation instance
of the Update Installer is updated with the new version of the Update
Installer.
