About this task

An interim fix is a noncumulative fix that resolves a single issue. This topic describes the steps to install an interim fix only; it does not include information about how to prepare the production environment before installing the fix. You can install multiple fixes at a time.

For information about additional command options, see the updateSilent command topic.

To install an interim fix in silent mode...

Procedure

1. Stop all the clusters that deployed Lotus Connection applications.
2. From the updateInstaller directory under the lotus_connections_root directory open a command prompt and enter the following commands (without the carriage returns):

• AIX:
  chmod +x updateSilent.sh ./updateSilent.sh -fix -installDir <lotus_connections_root> -fixDir <fix_file_location>-install
  -fixes <APAR_number_of_fix>
  -wasUserId <AdminUserID>
  -wasPassword <AdminPassword>
  -featureCustomizationBackedUp <backup_status>
  

• Linux:
  chmod +x updateSilent.sh ./updateSilent.sh -fix -installDir <lotus_connections_root> -fixDir <fix_file_location>-install
  -fixes <APAR_number_of_fix>
  -wasUserId <AdminUserID>
  -wasPassword <AdminPassword>
  -featureCustomizationBackedUp <backup_status>
  

• Windows:
  updateSilent.bat -fix -installDir <lotus_connections_root> -fixDir <fix_file_location>-install
  -fixes <APAR_number_of_fix>
  -wasUserId <AdminUserID>
  -wasPassword <AdminPassword>
  -featureCustomizationBackedUp <backup_status>
  

  where

  • <fix_file_location> is the directory containing the downloaded fixes

  • <APAR_number_of_fix> is the APAR number of the fix (such as LO36338)

  • <AdminUserId> is the administrative user name for WAS dmgr

  • <AdminPwd> is the password for that user

  • <backup_status> confirms whether you have backed up any customizations that you have made to the IBM Connections interface. The possible values are yes|no. This parameter does not validate any such backup; it is a reminder to consider backing up any customizations because updates to your deployment could overwrite your customizations.

  Note:

  If you do not know the APAR number of the fix, look in the readme.txt file that is downloaded to the temporary directory with the fix.

  For example:

  ./updateSilent.sh -installDir /opt/IBM/LotusConnections -fix 
  -fixDir /opt/IBM/LotusConnections/update/fixes -install 
  -fixes LO36338 LO34499 LO34327 LO35077 LO34966 
  -wasUserId wasadmin 
  -wasPassword wasadmin
  -featureCustomizationBackedUp yes

3. Remove the content of temporary WAS directories such as the app_server_root/profiles/AppSrv01/temp directory.
4. After installing the fixes, perform a full synchronization to push the updates to all nodes.

Results

The log files that are created by the wizard are located under the lotus_connections_root/version/log directory.
