Before you apply a fix pack or other service pack to the IBM Integration Toolkit, you might want to preserve the resources that you have created or imported into Version 9.0. For details of this task, see Backing up the IBM Integration Explorer and IBM Integration Toolkit workspace.
Check that your user ID has the correct authority to complete this task; see Installation and uninstallation authorization for details.
The IBM Integration Toolkit uses IBM Installation Manager to install service updates. Occasionally, an update is also required to Installation Manager; if an update is required, it is downloaded automatically and you are prompted to apply service to Installation Manager before you can apply service to the IBM Integration Toolkit.
Occasionally, updates to the information center are also made available. These updates are integrated with component updates when they are made available, and are therefore automatically included when you apply any updates using these instructions.
You can install multiple versions of the IBM Integration Toolkit at the same modification or fix pack level, or at different levels, on a single computer. Each installation must be in a separate package group; package groups are described in more detail in IBM Installation Manager.
For information about current fixes, follow the link Recommended
fixes in the Download section of the 
IBM Integration Bus support web page. Click the link for Version
9.0, and select the updates
you want to apply. Service release notes, the list of problems fixed
in a fix pack or other maintenance release, and the instructions you
must follow to complete the service upgrade are available. The instructions
provide full details of how to apply each service fix, and include
information about fixes to Installation Manager, if required. Always
use those instructions in preference to the information in this topic,
because they are maintained regularly and provide the latest information.
If you want Installation Manager to retrieve updates from a different location, see Changing the update repositories for Installation Manager. If you use FTP or HTTP proxies to allow applications to access the Internet, see Setting FTP and HTTP proxies for Installation Manager.
Use Installation Manager for all service updates, including those updates to Installation Manager itself. In most cases, the following instructions are sufficient; occasionally, further steps are necessary, therefore you must always check with the instructions provided with each fix on the support website.

two methods:
- From the Linux main
menu or the Windows Start menu:
