Re: WDSC Version 7.0.0 Update Fails

[Sam_L <lennon_s_j@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Be sure that you use Installation Manager.  It is the third entry after 
you click Help -> Software updates.  Uou may have a menu entry for IBM 
Installation Manager, which is the same thing.  The last version of WDSc 
was 7.0.0.8, though this shows up only (I think) in Installation Manager.

(I don't think WDSc is still supported, but you can try Installation 
Manager and see if it will update and it certainly works well for V5R4.)
