Updating the HATS Toolkit installation

You can install HATS V9.7 fix packs using the update function of the IBM® Installation Manager. By default, Internet access is required unless your repository preferences point to a local update site.

Note:
Earlier versions of HATS cannot be updated to HATS V9.7. To coexist, earlier versions and HATS V9.7 can be installed in separate package groups.
To update the HATS Toolkit:
  1. Start IBM® Installation Manager from the Windows™ Start menu. By default this is under Start > All Programs > IBM Installation Manager > IBM Installation Manager.
  2. From the menu bar, select File > Preferences.
  3. Ensure that the Search service repositories during installation and updates option is selected to allow updates from the IBM Update Server. Click OK to return to the IBM Installation Manager screen.
  4. On the initial IBM® Installation Manager panel, click Update.
    Note:
    Do not click Install.
  5. Select the package group in which you installed IBM® HATS V9.7. The default is IBM Software Delivery Platform. The Installed Packages and Fixes list at the bottom of the panel should show IBM® HATS 9.7.0.x as one of the entries. Click Next.
  6. Select IBM HATS 9.7.0.x and any other required or optional updates from the list of available updates. Any updates you already have installed will be displayed in grey and will not be selectable. Click Next.
  7. Read and accept the license agreements for the selected updates, and then follow the remaining installation dialogs to install the selected updates.
    Note:
    Depending on the speed of your computer processor, the amount of RAM, and the speed of your Internet connection, the update(s) could take an extended period of time to download and install.
  8. Review your selections on the Summary panel. If you want to make any changes to your selections, click Back and make your changes. When you are ready to install the update, click Update.
  9. When the updates are complete, a message will be displayed by IBM® Installation Manager informing you that updates were successfully installed. You can click View Log File to view the log file for the current Installation Manager session. When you are finished, click Finish.
  10. Exit IBM Installation Manager and start Host Access Transformation Services from the Windows Start menu to begin using the product. By default this is under Start > All Programs > IBM Software Delivery Platform > Host Access Transformation Services.
