Google for "WDSC 7.0.0.4" - worked for me:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=3239&context=SSZND2&dc=D400&uid=swg24017244&loc=en_US&cs=UTF-8&lang=en 


As others have already suggested, you may wish to take a look at the IBM 
Packaging Utility for building a local Repository of code.  The 7.0.0.4 
update can be copied to this Repository (using Copy Packages in PU). 

The benefit of this approach is a single Repository for all new installs 
as well as updates - no need to maintain separate images for each update. 
Hope this helps.
