Installation Instructions

Before installing this interim fix, download the interim fix to a dedicated location: 8.11.1.0-WS-ODM-IF013.zip

This interim fix includes all fixes from previous versions on the 8.11.1.0-WS-ODM component.

To install the interim fix, ODM on premise instructions :

  • Install the interim fix using one of the following methods:
    • Installation using the IBM Installation Manager UI
      1. Select File > Preferences > Repositories.
      2. Click Add Repository, browse to select the downloaded zip file, and confirm.
      3. Back in the main UI, select Update and follow the instructions.
    • Silent installation using IBM Installation Manager commands
      1. Find the fix ID with the command:
      2. imcl listAvailableFixes com.ibm.websphere.odm.dc.v811_8.11.1.2022 -repositories <zip-location>/com.ibm.odm.<your_app_server>_8.11.1.0-IF013.zip
        or
        imcl listAvailableFixes com.ibm.websphere.odm.ds.rules.v811_8.11.1.2022 -repositories <zip-location>/com.ibm.odm.<your_app_server>_8.11.1.0-IF013.zip
        Both will give the same result but use the correct one depending on DC or DS, as it could impact the uninstall.
        The fix ID has the following pattern:
        com.ibm.odm..v811-fix_1.0.0.<your_app_server>
      3. Install with the command:
        imcl install <fix ID> -repositories <zip-location>/com.ibm.odm._8.11.1.0-IF013.zip -installationDirectory <odm_home>
      4. The ifix zip and fix ID depend on the appserver.

To install the interim fix, ODM on Kubernetes instructions :

  • Using images in registry:
  1. Retrieve helm values for your release:  
    helm get values $name > myodmvalues.yaml
  2. Upgrade helm:  
    helm upgrade odmchart -f myodmvalues.yaml ibm-helm/ibm-odm-prod --version 22.2.12

For ODM on premise, perform the necessary tasks after installation

Once the installation is complete you can close Installation Manager.

Refer to the Problems solved section and perform the necessary steps depending on the impacted component you need to fix.

If your application embeds jars, repackage your application using the modified jars found in ODM_HOME/teamserver/lib and ODM_HOME/executionserver/lib.

Note: The interim fix does not update the Sample Server.

Interim Fix specific steps:

  • Since IF004 you can now print node/machine name in Business Console About page. You add the following to the java options of the server:
    -Dcom.ibm.rules.decisioncenter.hostname=myMachine
  • For DT208408, if you want to have DE performing the sort of rule with the "ruleExecutionName" property, you need to define below properties:
    -Dcom.ibm.rules.engine.rete.rceIndexer.useExecutableRuleName=true
    -Dcom.ibm.rules.brl.code.useLegacyReteMode=true
  • For DT236899, we added a system property in order to have the possibility to change the level of the reported error.For example -Dcom.ibm.rules.grammarerror.duplicateproduction.severity=error that must be added to the arguments to launch RuleStudio.

Decision Center

ODM_HOME/buildcommand/rules-compiler/rules-compiler.jar.

If you are using the Build Command Maven plugin, redeploy the plugin in your environment:

  • To deploy to a remote Maven repository, use the following command:
    mvn deploy:deploy-file -Dfile=rules-compiler.jar -DpomFile=rules-compiler-maven-plugin.pom
  • You can also test the plugin locally by running the following command:
