IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.4.0 fixpack fails to install onto WAS Version 8.5.0.2 with the error "Installation Manager cannot find any updates to install..."

Troubleshooting


Problem

The IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.4.0 fixpack fails to install onto WAS Version 8.5.0.2 with an error indicating "Installation Manager cannot find any updates to install...".

Symptom

You installed WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.0.0 onto a Windows machine (or any distributed operating system platform). You used the Installation Manager GUI to install the WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.0.2 fixpack. You are now trying to install the IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.4.0 fixpack using a local repository. The IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 7.0.4.0 fixpack was down loaded from the same web page that contained the WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.0.2 fixpack down load.

The part names for the IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Version 7.0.4.0 fixpack you down loaded were:

7.0.4.0-WS-IBMWASJAVA-part1.zip
7.0.4.0-WS-IBMWASJAVA-part2.zip

You down load and unzip the two .zip files into the same folder on your local machine per the installation instructions for a local repository. You added the fixpack local repository file (repository.xml) to the Installation Manager (File -> Preferences -> Repositories -> Add Repositories) correctly.

You then use the Installation Manager GUI to install the optional SDK Version 7.0.4.0 fixpack package but receive an error indicating "Installation Manager cannot find any updates to install...".





To obtain additional information about the error you can use the Installation Manager command line (imcl.exe) install option to get a more descriptive error message:

C:\IBM\Installation Manager\eclipse\tools> imcl.exe install com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.4000.20130319_1844 -repositories C:\temp\SDKfixpack -installationDirectory C:\WebSphere85\AppServer\java
