Applying IBM MobileFirst Platform Foundation interim fixes in an IBM Containers environment

Most interim fixes for IBM MobileFirst™ Platform Foundation V7.1 on IBM® Containers can be obtained from IBM Fix Central (http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral).

Before you begin

Before you apply an interim fix, back up your existing configuration files. The configuration files are located in the package_root/mfpf-analytics/usr and package_root/mfpf-server/usr folders.

Procedure

  1. After you back up the existing configuration files, download the interim fix archive and extract the contents to your existing installation folder, overwriting the existing files.
  2. Restore your backed-up configuration files into the /mfpf-analytics/usr and /mfpf-server/usr folders, overwriting the newly installed configuration files.
  3. Edit package_root/mfpf-server/usr/env/jvm.options file in your editor and remove the line -javaagent:/opt/ibm/wlp/usr/servers/mfp/newrelic/newrelic.jar.

Results

The interim fix has been applied successfully. You can now build and deploy new production-level containers.
