Failure in upgrading WebSphere Process Server test environment of WebSphere Integration Developer to V7.0.0.3

The following failures may occur:

1. IBM Installation Manager stops at the prerequisites checking , indicating that the upgrade can not be accomplished because of two existing files (7.0.0.7-WS-WAS-WinX32-IFPK98944 and 7.0.0.x-SDKPM00452).





2. IBM Installation Manager stops when running the update with following error messages:






In order to work around this issue :

1. Any interim fixes that have been installed using the WebSphere Update Installer must be removed with the Update Installer before starting V7.0.0 Fix Pack 3 activities. Two interim fixes were installed silently during the V7.0.0.0 install: SDKPM00452.pak and 7.0.0.7-WS-WAS-<platform><arch>-IFPK98944.pak.

These will need to be removed, if you have not already done so.

First download and install the IBM Update Installer V7.0.0.11 for WebSphere Software from following source page http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24020448.

Next, start the Update Installer and uninstall the following two packages and any additional fixes installed through the Update Installer:


2. Add repositories to the IBM Installation Manager preferences. Click File -> Preferences. Under Repositories select one of the following:
If the machine on which you have installed WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus, WebSphere Process Server, or WebSphere Process Server Client has internet access, ensure the following repository is present: http://public.dhe.ibm.com/software/websphere/repositories/ (A) and for the online upgrade the Service repository from the IBM Installation Manager (B).



If the system does not have internet access, download the repositories locally and add them to your Installation Manager repository list.
