Installing Message bus probe package on a system where the message bus probe is installed with supporting packages

Question & Answer


Question

How do you install the message bus probe from the command line when the supporting packages are already installed?

Cause

The message bus probe uses a number of supporting packages, which are provided with the GA probe package.
    probe-nonnative-base
    probe-sdk-java
    common-transformer
    common-transportmodule
Previously installed packages can be removed before applying the latest message bus probe package to prevent issues.
Newer supporting packages can be applied afterwards.

Answer

The message bus probe package for release 22 includes the latest supporting packages.
To prevent package layering problems you can choose to uninstall the previously installed packages, and apply the new probe package.

To check the installed packages on the probe server use imcl.
~/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl listInstalledPackages -features -long  | awk -F\: '{ print $3,$4}'
To uninstall all the different supporting packages and message bus probe.
~/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools/imcl uninstall com.ibm.tivoli.omnibus.integrations.transformer
