You possibly can observe the interactive (GUI) or silent mode to replace the Repair Pack and iFix (interim fixes) in WebSphere Software Server 7. The next describes how you can silently use a command line in one other phrase.
WebSphere 7 remains to be utilized by over 37% (as of April 2016) and thought it will be good to share the directions with all of you.

- As soon as downloaded, extract them to the momentary location (/tmp) on a server.
Comment: Backup is the lifesaver so remember to take it earlier than doing something.
- Delete all contents of /Path/to/Websphere_v7/UpdateInstaller/*
- Create a response file “UPDIREsonsefile.txt” with following underneath /tmp
-OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true" -OPT allowNonRootSilentInstall="true" -OPT installLocation="/Path/to/WebSphere_v7/UpdateInstaller"
- Navigate to a folder the place you extracted the replace installer. On this ex:
/tmp/UpdateInstaller
