Error description
When using IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator Studio to transfer the installation package to the accelerator, the time needed for both Full and Essential upgrades will be estimated. However, the upgrade from maintenance level 7.5.0.x to 7.5.2 can only be a Full upgrade. While the transfer of the installation package will be successful, the exclusion of the Essential upgrade may result in the following side effect: during the subsequent start of the installation using the Apply button the installer may see transfer log rather than the current installation log. Under these circumstances a monitoring of the installation progress may not be possible for up to two hours.
Local fix
If the Apply process due to its embedded health check were to include a reboot of the accelerator, the erroneous display of the transfer log would be resolved automatically and the installer can monitor the progress of the installation. If your upgrade needs to fit into a maintenance window and if two hours have passed by without appearance of the installation log, please contact IDAA support for control of the progress of the installation. The situation described before is a one-time issue due to a chicken-egg situation. The fix needed is part of maintenance level 7.5.3 but can only get active with subsequent upgrades from this maintenance level to higher ones.
Problem summary
The issue has been fixed with accelerator maintenance level 7.5.3. Note: When upgrading to maintenance level 7.5.3 a manual removal of the "apupgrade --essentials" process by IBM support still is required to show latest upgrade progress in IBM Db2 Analytics Accelerator Studio. Upgrades to maintenance levels higher than 7.5.3 will no longer require this manual step.
Problem conclusion
Upgrade to maintenance level 7.5.3 or higher.
Temporary fix
