Download the installation image

Before you begin

Read the Release Notes for the version that you are installing. The Release Notes explain where to get the installation image. Options are:

• Passport Advantage®

  Passport Advantage contains only major releases, not fix packs.

• Fix Central

  Fix Central contains only fix packs, not major releases. Every fix pack is a full installation, you do not need to install a major release and then install fix packs on top of it.

From IBM®'s perspective, a major release has zeros in the third and fourth positions of the version number. That means, for example, that 6.2.0.00 and 6.3.0.00 are major releases (available on Passport Advantage) and 6.2.1.2 and 6.3.0.03 are fix packs (available on Fix Central).
