Applying an interim fix (V5.2.6 or later)

A cumulative collection of fixes that is released between scheduled refresh packs, manufacturing refreshes, or releases. An interim fix updates the system to a specific maintenance level.

Important: To apply interim fix to Sterling B2B Integrator V5.2.6 and higher versions, you must use IBM Installation ManagerV1.8.2. You can use the silent mode or the graphical user interface mode to apply the interim fix. InstallService remains enabled for a very limited number of special situations. Use InstallService only as directed by specific documentation or on advice of customer support. One specific scenario where you must use InstallService is to install Sterling File Gateway if you had not installed it when installing Sterling B2B Integrator. For information about installing Sterling File Gateway by using InstallService, see Installing Sterling File Gateway (2.2.2 and higher). For more information about Sterling File Gateway V2.2.6 installation changes, see Using Installation Manager to install Sterling File Gateway.

Uninstalling an interim fix is a complex and manual process. To uninstall an interim fix, contact IBM Support by creating a Problem Management Record (PMR).

Important: Use the interim fix installation information in this section to install or apply interim fixes to Sterling B2B Integrator nodes on Windows and Linux/UNIX operating systems.
