Show more detail, on progress bar, when using IIM to upgrade B2Bi

Upgrading B2Bi v6.0 to v6.1 took almost two hours. For the majority of that time, IIM's progress bar sat at (about) 60%. It would be helpful to see what it's doing or even update the progress bar more frequently.

How will this idea be used?

It lets the installer know that progress is being made versus wondering if the application is "stuck" upgrading.

    I'm not sure which OS you're using IIM on, but I use it on Linux servers. While I have IIM up and running the install, I also monitor the underlying linux server screen. On it, I can see everything it is doing, and based off of years of running upgrades/installations via IIM, I have a general ID how far along it is in the update/install process. So even if the IIM UI is sitting at 60%, I can see that it is working, and not hung up.

    Thank you for your participating in the request for enhancement community. While we do agree this would add value we are not able prioritize based on our current priorities. Of note our certified container deployments do offer more insight into the progress, which is significantly faster to deploy. Other options for the IIM based install is grepping the install logs or monitoring CPU usage.
