Applying a fix pack to IBM MobileFirst Platform Operational Analytics

Learn how to use Ant tasks to upgrade MobileFirst Operational Analytics V7.1.0 to a fix pack or interim fix, if you installed this component with Ant tasks.

Before you begin

On WebSphere® Application Server, applying a fix pack creates a significant peak of memory usage in the heap. If WebSphere Application Server has insufficient memory heap, this might cause OutOfMemory issues, and seriously impact the performance of the application server. Before you perform the following procedure, verify that your server on WebSphere Application Server has the memory settings that are described at Setting up a production cluster.

About this task

Use this procedure if you installed MobileFirst Operational Analytics with Ant tasks, as documented in Installing MobileFirst Operational Analytics with Ant tasks.

If you installed MobileFirst Operational Analytics manually, you must perform a manual update of the WAR file, or EAR file. For more information, see Installing the IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Operational Analytics.

Procedure

For an upgrade from MobileFirst Server V7.1.0 to a fix pack or an interim fix

Find the Ant file that you created in Sample configuration files for MobileFirst Operational Analytics..
Make sure that the taskdef for the worklight-ant-deployer.jar file uses the correct directory. The correct directory is the directory that contains the upgraded installation of MobileFirst Server V7.1.0.
Run the minimal-update target of the Ant file on the system where you installed MobileFirst Operational Analytics:
```
product_install_dir/shortcuts/ant -f your_file minimal-update
```
Restart the server.

What to do next

If you installed more than one MobileFirst Operational Analytics servers that are connected to your MobileFirst runtime environment, then you must repeat this procedure on each server where MobileFirst Operational Analytics is installed.
