About this task

The IBM webMethods Software Download Center (SDC) on Passport Advantage Online (PAO) hosts the repositories that contain the webMethods products and fixes that you can install with Command Central.

When you use Command Central to upgrade product installations and install fixes, Command Central uses an IBM account entitlement key to connect to the product and fix master repositories.

To install fixes and products with Command Central version 10.15 on nodes with version 10.11 or lower, you can:

  • Use mirror repositories hosted on a local Platform Manager version 10.15 or newer to install products and fixes. Update your mirror repositories as described in this procedure to install products and fixes on installations with version 10.11 or lower.
  • Update your version of Platform Manager to connect to master repositories for version 10.11 or lower. Install the fixes in the second column, or newer, to connect a version of Platform Manager to the master repositories for that version:
    Platform Manager version Fix required for connection to master repositories
    10.15.0
    • Installer Bundles 10.15.0 FIX 7
      (WIS_10.15_InstallationProvisioning_Fix7)
