Modifying installed product packages

The Modify Packages wizard in the IBM® Installation Manager enables you to change the feature and language selections of an installed product package. You can also use the Modify Packages wizard to install new features that might be included in a package update, such as a refresh pack.

Before you begin

By default, Internet access is required unless the repository preferences points to a local update site. See the Installation Manager help for more information.
Note: Close all programs that were installed using Installation Manager before modifying.

Procedure

To modify an installed product package, complete the following steps:

  1. Start IBM Installation Manager.
  2. On the Start page, click Modify.
  3. In the Modify Packages wizard, select the product package group and click Next.
  4. On the Languages page, select the languages for the package group and click Next. The corresponding national language translations for the user interface and documentation for the packages will be installed. Note that your choices apply to all packages installed under this package group.
  5. On the Features page, select the features that you want to install or remove. Some products do not have optional features.
    1. To learn more about a feature, click the feature and review the brief description under Details.
    2. If you want to see the dependency relationships between features, select Show Dependencies. When you click a feature, any features that depend on it and any features that are its dependents are shown in the Dependencies window. As you select or exclude features in the packages, Installation Manager will automatically enforce any dependencies with other features and display updated download size and disk space requirements for the installation.
    3. Click Next
  6. On the Summary page, review your choices before modifying the installation package and click Modify.
