The same procedure will apply for any other higher IBM Sterling Integrator  5.2.6.x versions.

1 – Download the Fix pack installation archive from Fix Central: In our example, we will install 5.2.6.2 interim fix 4 : Media_IM_5020602_4.Zip

2- Extract The Zip archive and then extract the commonrepo.zip in the archive

You should get the following directory & file structure:

591,876,974 Common_Repo.zip
57,132 IBMUpgradePreCheck.jar
<DIR>          ResponseFiles
<DIR>          packages
<DIR>          Common_Repo

3- from the Installation manager installed location in tools directory run the imcl commands  like :

./imcl listInstalledPackages -verbose

Output example extract  :

And set the correct value for the following Variables:

This is the path the  IBMshared location

<variable name='sharedLocation' value='/opt//IBM/IBMIMShared'/>

This is the Name of the group package we noted earlier

<variable name='offeringProfile' value='Sterling Integrator'/>
