IBM Tivoli Composite Application Manager for Application Diagnostics, Version 7.1.0.1
Update the Response File
The update installer is a non-interactive silent installer that works based on the response file. The default name of the response file is silentUpdate.properties; it is located in the update installer directory. Update the response file as follows:
- Set the product.location property to the correct Managing Server installation directory (MS_home)
- Optionally, if the *.update files are not in default ./updates directory, then set the updates.location property to the directory that contains the *.update files. (If you have unpacked the package and not moved the files, do not set this property).
- If the Visualization Engine was not installed to the Managing Server host to be updated, set the updateVe property to false. Otherwise uncomment and set the updateVe.wasHome property to the WAS_PROFILE_HOME of the Visualization Engine application server.
- In a split Managing Server installation, when several Managing Server hosts that use the same database, this database must be updated only once. It is updated with the default property values, so no change is needed on the first host to update. On the second and subsequent hosts to update, set the updateDB property to false.
Perform the following steps if the Visualization Engine is installed on the host to be updated:
- If the Visualization Engine is installed on a WebSphere Network Deployment, use SOAP connection to install the update. For that uncomment and set the following properties in the silentUpdate.properties file:
- updateVe.was.soap.host=<HOST>
- updateVe.was.soap.port=<PORT>
WebSphere Deployment Manager and Node Agent must be in running state.
- If WebSphere Security is enabled, uncomment and set the following properties:
- updateVe.was.user=<WAS USER>
- updateVe.was.password=<WAS PASSWORD>
- To retrieve user name and password from *.client.props file set the following property:
- connection.useClientProps=true
For a SOAP connection , the user name and password will be retrieved from the soap.client.props file. (RMI connections are not supported by the update installer).
Do not set connection.useClientProps=true if user name and password are not specified in the soap.client.props file, it may lead to a hang of the update installer.
If you specify user and password information in the silentUpdate.properties file and set connection.useClientProps=true, the silentUpdate.properties file information overrides the information in the soap.client.props file.
