Pre-installation steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

System requirements:

For the fourth interim fix, you must first install the MobileFirst interim fix, and you must install Android Build Tools 28.0.3 and Android SDK 28 platform tools.  You still run API 23 as a target.

Back up and record customizations:

Before proceeding, make a complete backup of the following folders. Default folder locations are provided below:

Maximo Admin Workstation: /IBM/SMP
Maximo Anywhere Build Server: /IBM/Anywhere

Also, make a complete backup of the Maximo database instance.

Check and record any custom WebSphere Application Server configurations, such as module bindings, virtual hosts, and environment property settings.

At least Oracle Java 1.8 is required.

Before you begin:

Remove the maximo-anywhere-platform-fixpack_7.6.2.1.201711200444.zip file from your install_home/platform folder.

Decompress the file that you have obtained from Fix Central.

Install the MobileFirst interim fix from the following link by downloading MFPF-IF201903191506.
(https://www-945.ibm.com/support/fixcentral/swg/selectFixes?product=ibm%2FOther+software%2FIBM+MobileFirst+Platform+Foundation&fixids=7.1.0.0-MFPF-IF201903191506&source=SAR&function=fixId&parent=ibm/Other%20software)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update the IBM Maximo Asset Management environment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download and extract the oslcos_pmp_deploy_latest.zip and anywhereadmin_pmp_deploy_latest.zip files to the ../IBM/SMP/maximo directory.

2. Update the database and build and deploy the EAR file, according to your version of Maximo Asset Management:

- On Maximo Asset Management 7.5.0.6 or greater, run the updatedb command in the ../IBM/SMP/maximo/tools/maximo directory. Build and deploy the EAR file.

- On Maximo Asset Management 7.6 or greater, from the Tivoli's process automation suite configuration tool, run the Update Database and Build and Deploy Application EAR Files option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install the apps
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install the apps, complete the following steps:

1. Download and extract the platform-Latest.delta.zip file to the install_home/MaximoAnywhere/platform directory.

2. Download the maximo-anywhere-platform_7.6.2.1.201711200444.zip file to the install_home/MaximoAnywhere/platform directory.

3. On Windows and Linux, extract the MaximoAnywhere_7.6.2.1.latest.delta.zip to the install_home/MaximoAnywhere directory. Overwrite the existing MaximoAnywhere directory.

For Mac OS x systems, extract the file to a different location. Do not use Finder to overwrite the existing MaximoAnywhere directory. Instead, in a terminal, use ditto and run the following command: ditto <from_folder> <destination_folder>.

4. Extract the MaximoAnywhere/build/config/app_artifacts_previous.zip file into the MaximoAnywhere/apps path.

5. Run the following command to upgrade your WorkExecution.xml file to the latest version:

ant -f app-sparse-xml-processor.xml upgrade-previous-release-app-artifacts

6. If you are building Android apps, update your build.properties property to specify the version of the Android SDK that you are using, for example, Android_TARGET_DEVICE_NAME=android-26. Also, you must download the same Android SDK in your Android SDK Manager. Android 23 SDK is the minimum supported version for Android apps. For push notifications, Android SDK version 26 is required.

7. For Windows, run the following command:

build.cmd clean update-platform

For Mac OS X, run the following command:

./build.sh clean update-platform

8. Run the anywhere-rdfs-puller.xml file that is in the MaximoAnywhere directory.

9. For Windows, run the following command:

build.cmd all

For Mac OS X, run the following command:

./build.sh all

Post-installation steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have customized your Maximo Object Structures rerun the OSLC RDF Puller to pull the latest OSLC RDF documents:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.2/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/integration/t_import_resource_data.html

Reapply any changes you might have made to the app-feature.properties file to reenable any custom properties you might have changed.
 
Verifying that your local customizations still exist:

Run a comparison tool like Beyond Compare to compare your backed up directory to the newly updated one.

Verify that any (class files, device native code or javascript) customizations you have made are still in place, and reapply them if not.

Verify that your app.xml file changes are still there.

Verify that the bundleids in your application-description.xml file are correct.

Verify that any custom WebSphere Application Server configurations, such as module bindings, virtual hosts, and environment property settings are still there.

If you have customized the logos on the login screen or any of the platform XML files, you must manually reapply those changes.

For push notification support, follow the steps described here.
