Interim fixes for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) Version 7.5

Installation Instructions

The following installation instructions provide details for installing the interim fixes with and without Internet access.

With Internet Access
If you have Internet access on the system on which you are installing, you have the following options to find and install the interim fixes:

• If you are doing a Custom Installation where IBM Installation Manager is displayed, you can discover the interim fixes by clicking Check for other Versions, Fixes, and Extensions on the first IBM Installation Manger screen that opens. This action causes a second screen with all the WebSphere Application Server, Feature Pack for WebSphere Application Server, and Business Process Manager or WebSphere Enterprise Service Bus interim fixes to display. All mandatory interim fixes are preselected for installation.
  
  
• If you have already completed your installation and you are on a Windows operating system, you can use the Update shortcut, which enables you to easily find and install all of the interim fixes.
  
  
  Note: This shortcut is available for Process Designer as well for installing the interim fix for Process Designer.
  
  
• If you are using a Linux or UNIX operating system, start the IBM Installation Manger and click Update. Then, select your installation and IBM Installation Manager locates all the interim fixes for you to install.

1. Download all of the applicable compressed files for your installation including the WebSphere Application Server interim fixes. Move the compressed files either onto a server that can be reached by the system on which you are installing or directly onto the system on which you are installing.
   
   
2. Decompress all the compressed files for your installation. They can all be decompressed to the same location as they will each decompress into a different subdirectory.
   
   
3. Start IBM Installation Manager.
   
   
4. Go to Files -> Preferences -> Repositories.
   
   
5. For each compressed file of interim fixes that you downloaded and decompressed, click Add Repository...
   
   
6. If you have decompressed the files onto the same system on which you are installing, click Browse, find the top level repository.config file, and add in that repository. If you have decompressed the files onto another system, you will need to enter the URL for the repository.config file.
   
   
7. After you have completed this action for each repository, you can then click Update and select your installation. IBM Installation Manager locates all the interim fixes for each repository that you have added.
   
   
   Note: If you add in a repository with interim fixes that are not applicable to your installation, IBM Installation Manager does not list these interim fixes.

1. Shut down any servers using the profiles.
   
   
2. For each profile, copy the following files as shown:
   
   
   For all operating systems, copy from
   {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT}/BPM/Lombardi/process-server/configTemplates/db/{DBTYPE}/60Database.xml
   to
   {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/{PROFILE_NAME}/config/cells/{CELL_NAME}/nodes/{NODE_NAME}/servers/{SERVER_NAME}/process-center/config/system/60Database.xml
   
   
   
   For UNIX / Linux operating systems, copy from
   {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT}/BPM/Lombardi/tools/bootstrapProcessServerData.sh
   to
   {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/{PROFILE_NAME}/bin/bootstrapProcessServerData.sh
   
   
   
   For Windows operating systems, copy from
   {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT}/BPM/Lombardi/tools/installProcessAppPackage.bat
   to
   {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/{PROFILE_NAME}/bin/installProcessAppPackage.bat
   
   where:
• {BPM_INSTALL_ROOT} is the location of your base installation directory for IBM Business Process Manager Version 7.5.
• {PROFILE_NAME} is the name of the profile that needs to be updated.
• {CELL_NAME}, {NODE_NAME}, and {SERVER_NAME} are the names of the cell, node, and server for each server created with that profile.
  
  
3. If you had any error messages while initially creating the profiles, the profiles should be deleted and then recreated. In this case, you can skip this step - the updated files will be placed properly when the new profile is created.
