Fix Readme


Abstract

Instructions for upgrading IBM InfoSphere Information Server, Versions 11.7.0.0 or 11.7.0.1 to 11.7 Fix pack 2. This readme document contains guidance for installation of the 11.7.0.2 upgrade package available on Fix Central.

Content

The steps for upgrading to Information Server 11.7.0.2 depends on the version of the current installation, and whether Information Server Enterprise Search (ISES) is installed. Additionally, if ISES is installed, you may choose to manually upgrade ISES to 11.7.0.2 after upgrading Information Server to 11.7.0.2. The Information Server version installed on the system should be either 11.7.0.0 or 11.7.0.1.
Prior to upgrading, see this Technote for issues you may need to address prior to the install, and also issues that may affect you after the install.

7.8) Remember to update UG_IMAGES_TAR_PATH with the new value i.e. 11.7.0.2 tar images path which was downloaded from IBM Fix Central to the ISES host. Also, make sure that IS_ADMIN_PASSWORD, XMETA_DB_PASSWORD and SOCIAL_DB_PASSWORD are updated with their current values.

7.9) Execute kubselfextract.bsx from the extracted folder using the following commands:
       cd UGDockerDeployment/UGDockerDeploymentServices/payload/installer/
       ./kubeselfextract.bsx

7.10) Check the installation status in /opt/IBM/UGinstall/iiskubedeploy-<timestamp>.log

7.11) If ISES 11.7.0.0 was manually installed, on the IIS host, the UGDockerDeployment folder may not be present in the IIS installation location. Change directory to the IIS install location and create the UGDockerDeployment directories with permission as 755. For example,

       cd <IIS install location>
       mkdir –p UGDockerDeployment/bin
       mkdir –p UGDockerDeployment/installer

7.12) Copy /tmp/uginfo.rsp file from ISES host to IIS host <IIS install location>/UGDockerDeployment/installer folder

7.13) Restart WebSphere Application Server for the changes to take effect.
See instructions here.


 

8) Instructions for manually installing Information Server Enterprise Search Version 11.7.0.2 when ISES is not installed in an Information Server 11.7.0.2 installation.

See instructions here

9) Post-upgrade steps for Information Governance Catalog users

If you use Extension Mapping Documents in Information Governance Catalog, after you apply Fix Pack 2, you must re-run the detection of lineage relationships for them. Otherwise, additional mappings might be displayed in the Usage section in the asset details page for selected assets. For more details, contact IBM Support.

10.) Post-upgrade steps for DataStage Flow Designer
If 11.7 Fix Pack 2 is being applied to an Information Server installation of 11.7.0.0  please refer to this tech note for post installation instructions

https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=ibm10740327

If 11.7 Fix Pack 2 is being applied to an installation of Information Server 11.7 Fix Pack 1 or later disregard this tech note.
