Updates

The Updates screen provides a view of available Updates based on your Zend Support Network registration information.

A color-coded legend indicates the status of each Update. (This will only be available if you have configured your Zend Support Network login details. See below.)

Control Center Tab - Updates

To refresh the view and check for more Updates from the Zend Support Network, click the "Check Updates" button , located in the top-right corner of the page.

If Updates are available, a message will be displayed at the top of the screen saying 'Update Zend Core.'

Available Updates can be downloaded and installed automatically using the Zend Core Setup Tool.

See the 'Updating Zend Core' chapter for more on how to install Updates.

Note:

You must be registered for a Zend Support Subscription (Silver, Gold or Platinum) in order to have access to Updates.

By downloading Zend Core for i5/OS, you have received a one year, first-level Silver Support Subscription.

If your Zend Core Support Subscription User ID and Password have not been configured in Zend Core, you will receive an error message.

For more on Zend Support Subscriptions, and to register, see the Zend Core Support page at http://www.zend.com/en/products/core/support.

Secure Environments

The automatic update option is available for users that have a direct internet connection, or that can access the internet through a proxy server. Subscribed users working in a secure environment can download Zend Update Packages containing all pertinent Updates from the Zend Update site (http://www.zend.com/en/core/network/updates).

See the Updating Offline section in the Updating Zend Core' chapter for more on how to install Updates in an offline environment.
