Install updates on the Personalization Server

This section describes the steps required to upgrade the Portal Personalization Server on a machine without IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express. The Personalization Server is installed by default with WebSphere Portal Express, so if you have done a customary install, you already have the Personalization Server updates installed.

1. Set up the Java environment for the WebSphere Portal Express Update Installer by running the following command:

   • Linux: . was_profile_root/bin/setupCmdLine.sh

   • Windows: was_profile_root/bin/setupCmdLine.bat

   When running this command in a Linux shell, be sure to use the syntax . ./setupCmdLine.sh. If you do not precede the command with the period and space, the Java environment will not be properly set for the active shell.

2. In the same directory, stop all other active application servers by running the following commands. If you are upgrading an existing application server that does not have security enabled, exclude the user identification '-user was_admin_userid' and password '-password was_admin_password' from the command.

   1. List the active application servers by running the command:

      • Linux: ./serverStatus.sh -all -user username -password password

      • Windows: serverStatus.bat -all -user username -password password

   2. Stop each server by running the following command for each server, where servername is an active application server shown when running the previous command.

      • Linux: ./stopServer.sh servername -user was_admin_userid -password was_admin_password

      • Windows: stopServer.bat servername -user was_admin_userid -password was_admin_password

3. Lay down binaries on the Personalization Server. Linux:

   /opt/WebSphere/Personalization/update> ./updatePortal.sh -fixpack 
        -installDir "/opt/WebSphere/Personalization" 
        -fixpackDir "/opt/WebSphere/Personalization/update/fixpacks" 
        -install 
        -fixpackID WP_PTF_601

   Windows:

   C:\Program Files\WebSphere\Personalization\update> updatePortal -fixpack 
        -installDir "C:\Program Files\WebSphere\Personalization" 
        -fixpackDir "C:\Program Files\WebSphere\Personalization\update\fixpacks" 
        -install 
        -fixpackID WP_PTF_601

4. Change to the directory <Personalization home>/config.

5. Enter the following commands to run the configuration tasks:

   • Linux: ./WPSconfig.sh config-wp6-ptf-pzn-standalone -DWasPassword=password

   • Windows: WPSconfig.bat config-wp6-ptf-pzn-standalone -DWasPassword=password
