Linux: Applying maintenance level updates
How to apply maintenance level updates to IBM® WebSphere® MQ for Linux® using RPM.
Before you begin
If you are running on a server with multiple IBM WebSphere MQ installations, that is, IBM WebSphere MQ Version 7.0.1, Fix Pack 6 (or later), you must identify the installation. Make sure that the commands you enter run against the correct installation; see setmqenv.
About this task
Maintenance level updates are delivered in the form of Red Hat Package Manager (RPM) update images, which are applied using the RPM installation tool.
Additional disk space is required for the update images to allow maintenance level updates to be
removed and the previous level restored. The updated files are kept in
directory. Do not
delete or move this directory or the files it contains.MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
/maintenance
MQ_INSTALLATION_PATH
represents the high-level
directory in which IBM WebSphere MQ is installed.
Updates are cumulative. You can apply your chosen update directly, without applying any previous updates first. The maintenance level updates might contain updates for one or more packages. You must apply those parts of an update that correspond to the packages that are applied in your installation.
