WIRELESS CORE PATCH INSTALLATION INFORMATION
======================================================================
-------------------------------------
INSTALLING THE WIRELESS CORE PATCH
-------------------------------------
1) The Partition Maintenance process must NOT be running:

Verify that the Partition Maintenance process is not running:
As user virtuo:
$ ksh
$ schedule_admin -list all

Check the JOBS RUNNING section in the output for any jobs named "pm_*".
For example, pm_weekly, pm_monthly, pm_daily. If any "pm_*" jobs
are listed, this indicates that the Partition Maintenance process is
running. You must wait until there are no "pm_*" jobs running before
starting the install.

Once 'schedule_admin' CLI reports all PM jobs as completed or failed,
make sure no 'zombie' Partition Maintenance processes exist. Run the
following command from 'sqlplus' connected to a PMW database as
DB user 'virtuo':

SELECT sid, serial# FROM v$session WHERE LOWER(module)='partmaint';

Any sessions returned need to be terminated before continuing the install.


2) All services apart from the database should be stopped (sap stop).

As user virtuo set WMCROOT, e.g.:
$ ksh
$ export WMCROOT=/appl/virtuo

Run the patch deploy
$ $WMCROOT/admin/common/install/scripts/deploy_patch -wmcr $WMCROOT -patch vallent-vt-patch-P1410185-TNPM1.4.1.0.185.tar.gz

Providing /appl as the location of the patch.

Note: Enter 1 to proceed installation
1. Install Virtuo Patch vallent-vt-patch-P1410185-TNPM1.4.1.0.185.tar.gz
----> 1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-----------------------

IV84861: NEW ROWS IN THE DB INSTEAD OF REHOMING, TIMESTAMP NC MANAGER
Need to add the entities (for example: EUtranCell EUtranRelation) in default.properties for key com.ibm.tivoli.tnpmw.ncmanager.entities .

Location of default.properties:-
vi /appl/virtuo/conf/nc_manager/default.properties

com.ibm.tivoli.tnpmw.ncmanager.entities= Cell,neighbour,EUtranCell,EUtranRelation

--------------
KNOWN ISSUES
--------------
1) Error 'Permission denied' gets displayed while creating folder with 'power web user'

Any power web user other than 'sysadm' tries to create new folder inside public folder under vault directory, 'Permission Denied' error gets displayed.
It is an intemittent issue. This issue will never occur for first power web user created but users created later may face this issue. Since it is an intermittent issue, user can retry and create a folder successfully.

----------------------------------------------
UN-INSTALLING THE WIRELESS CORE PATCH
----------------------------------------------

When the IF02 patch is uninstalled, the system will be rolled back to the
previous version of TNPM which was installed.



1) All services, apart from the database, should be stopped (sap stop)

Verify that the services are not running using the following command:
$ sap disp

2) As user virtuo set WMCROOT, e.g.:
$ ksh
$ export WMCROOT=/appl/virtuo

Run the patch remove script
$ cd $WMCROOT/admin/software/core
$ ./vallent-vt-patch-P1410185.remove
