Deploying fixes to Sametime servers running on WebSphere Application Server

Install an IBM® Sametime® fix by downloading packages and installing with the Update option.

About this task

To install a Sametime fix, install the Sametime update directly over the existing Sametime, or any previous fix version of each server. There is no need to update IBM Domino®, IBM WebSphere® Network Deployment, or IBM Installation Manager because the fix uses the versions of those products that you deployed already for Sametime.

Procedure

1. Go to IBM Fix Central to download the fix package. Product updates and fixes are made available through Fix Central.
2. Log in to the WebSphere Integrated System Console as the WebSphere administrator.

   For example, https://yourserver.example.com:8701/ibm/console
