Using IBM Installation Manager to report on available iFixes for IBM BPM

Another post in the "If I don't write it down, I'll forget it" tradition of this blog: -

So I have a bunch of iFixes downloaded as .ZIP files: -

Want to know how I did it ?

Unzipping IBM iFixes in a FOR loop

Having got my fixes in order, I can now use IBM Installation Manager to report on what's available: -

$ for i in `find ~/Fixes/Install/ | grep repository.xml`; do /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listAvailableFixes com.ibm.ws.WBPMSTD_7.5.1001.20120915_1227 -repositories $i; done

which returns: -
