IV61280 Install Steps

Answer

To install the Limited Availability fix for APAR IV61280 on UNIX/Linux platforms use the steps below.


Knowing the following locations:

staging_area
Directory under which the LA fix install image will be extracted.

install_image
Directory into which the image will be extracted.

temp_directory
Directory LA image archive is downloaded into.

platform
Label for the platform architecture the fix is being installing on, for example LinuxX64.

TWAhome
Label for the platform architecture the fix is being installing on, for example LinuxX64.

TWSuser
TWS instance owner


Perform the following:

1. Download platform image to temp_directory
   
   
2. Log in as root
   
   
3. Create a directory to extract LA image archive into:
   
   # cd staging_area
   # mkdir install_image
   
   
4. Extract the LA image archive into install_image directory:
   
   # cd install_image
   # unzip temp_directory/8.6.0-TIV-TWS-FP0003-MDM-platform-IV61280.zip
   
   
5. Confirm if there is an existing update installer currently installed:
   
   # ls TWAhome/UPDI
   
   
6. If this directory exists and is not empty, then uninstall the update installer:
   
   # TWAhome/UPDI/uninstall/uninstall -silent
   
   
7. Empty the update installer directory:
   
   # cd TWAhome
   # mv UPDI UPDI-save
   # mkdir UPDI
   
   Note that you could alternatively delete the contents of the UPDI directory.
   
   
8. Extract the update installer image:
   
   # cd staging area/install_image/platform
   # tar xvzf staging_area/install_image/platform/7.0.0.31-WS-UPDI-platform.tar.gz
   
   Note if not using GNU tar, you will need to uncompress the gzipped archive before extracting the file using tar.
   
   
9. Install the update installer:
   
   # cd UpdateInstaller
   # ./install -silent -OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true" -OPT disableOSPrereqChecking="true" -OPT disableEarlyPrereqChecking="true" -OPT installLocation="TWAhome/UPDI" -OPT skipStartMenu=true -OPT traceFormat=text -OPT traceLevel=SEVERE
   
   
10. Confirm that the update installer was installed:
    
    # ls TWAhome/UPDI
    
    Note that if successful, the UPDI directory will no longer be empty.
    
    
11. Log in as the TWSuser and stop the application server:
    
    $ conman stopappserver
    
    
12. Log in as root
    
    
13. Move the maintenance packages into the update installer directory:
    
    # cd <staging area>/<install image>/platform/WASFP/FILES
    # cp *.pak TWAhome/UPDI/maintenance/
    
    
14. Apply the first maintenance update:
    
    # cd TWAhome/UPDI
    # ./update.sh -silent -W maintenance.package=maintenance/7.0.0-WS-WASSDK-platform-FP0000031.pak -W product.location=TWAhome/eWAS -W update.type="install"
    
    
15. Confirm application was successful:
    
    # cat TWAhome/eWAS/logs/update/7.0.0-WS-WASSDK-platform-FP0000031.install/updatelog.txt
    
    Look for the string "INSTCONFSUCCESS" near the end of the output.
    
    
16. Apply the second maintenance update:
    
    # ./update.sh -silent -W maintenance.package=maintenance/7.0.0-WS-WASEmbeded-platform-FP0000031.pak -W product.location=TWAhome/eWAS -W update.type="install"
    
    
17. Confirm application was successful:
    
    # cat TWAhome/eWAS/logs/update/7.0.0-WS-WASEmbeded-platform-FP0000031.install/updatelog.txt
    
    
18. Log in as the TWSuser:
    
    
19. Edit the TWAhome/TWS/version/patch.info file and append the following string to the end of the current entry for "8.6.0-TIV-TWS-FP0003":
    
    " + IV61820"
    
    
20. Restart the application server.
    
    $ conman startappserver
