Check for product updates using WSO2 Update Manager

Now that we have all of our products in the repository, as we can check with the wum Gstlist command, we are ready to check for updates. To achieve that, we type the following:

    C:\ >wum check-update wso2ei-6.0.0
    Connecting to WSO2 Update...
    
    Checking for latest updates for wso2ei-6.0.0...
    Product is up to date.

In this case, WSO2 EI is up to date, so no action is required. However, if we check for updates for the other product, WSO2 ESB 5.0.0, in our repository, we have this:

    >wum check-update wso2esb-5.0.0
    Connecting to WSO2 Update...
    
    Checking for latest updates for wso2esb-5.0.0...
    37 updates are available
    [WARNING] 17 critical security updates. WSO2 strongly recommends that 
    you install these updates now.

What's next? Use wum update to install the latest updates.

In that case, due to WSO2 ESB 5.0.0 being released in 2016, there are updates available. In spite of the fact that it is not the product we are focused on in this book, we will show the update procedure using this product since the procedure is the same for all the products managed by WSO2 Update Manager.

So, to install the latest updates in all the products in the repository, we type this:

    C:\>wum update
    Connecting to WSO2 Update...
