Prerequisites and Supersedes

Components impacted

Prior to installation

If you have Cloud Pak for Business Automation 21.0.2 installed on a Kubernetes cluster that has access to the internet, then the deployment should be upgraded automatically to 21.0.2-IF003 (If you have 21.0.2 installed using air gap, you still need to follow this readme to upgrade to 21.0.2-IF003).  This upgrade behavior is the same when 21.0.2-IF001 was released and published. In other words, when the Cloud Pak for Business Automation 21.0.2-IF003 is released and published, the CP4BA Operator will automatically  be updated to the latest published iFix. After the CP4BA Operator is successfully upgraded to 21.0.2-IF003, then the components that you have installed on your cluster will automatically be upgraded (unless you changed the Approval Strategy for CP4BA Operator from "Automatic" (default) to "Manual")
If you have Cloud Pak for Business Automation 21.0.1.x or older currently installed (e.g., 21.0.1-IF001 currently installed) or if you have 21.0.2 installed using air gap, you can update the deployment to 21.0.2-IF003 by following this readme starting with the Installing section and the instructions in the Knowledge Center.
If you want to use this interim fix as a part of a new deployment, refer to IBM Knowledge Center IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation 21.0.x.

Installing

Step 1: Get access to the interim fix container images
You can access the container images in the IBM image registry with your IBMid. You should already have admin.registrykey secret and ibm-entitlement-key secret (if you have BAW and/or BAI installed) already created from the current deployment. If these secrets no longer exist, then follow the steps below to create them.
Create a pull secret for the IBM Cloud Entitled Registry
  1. Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with the IBMid and password that is associated with the entitled software.
  2. In the Container software library tile, click "View library" and then click "Copy key" to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.
  3. Log in to your Kubernetes cluster and set the context to the project/namespace for your existing deployment.
  4. Create image pull secrets by running kubectl create secret commands below.
    $ kubectl create secret docker-registry admin.registrykey --docker-server=cp.icr.io --docker-username=cp --docker-password="<API_KEY_GENERATED>" --docker-email=<USER_EMAIL>
    $ kubectl create secret docker-registry ibm-entitlement-key --docker-server=cp.icr.io --docker-username=cp --docker-password="<API_KEY_GENERATED>" --docker-email=<USER_EMAIL>
    Note: The "cp.icr.io" value for the docker-server parameter is the only registry domain name that contains the images. Use "cp" for the docker-username. The docker-email must be a valid email address (associated to your IBM ID). Make sure you are copying the Entitlement Key in the docker-password field within double quotation marks.
  5. Take a note of the secret and the server values so that you can set them to the "pullSecrets" and "repository" parameters when you update the operator for your containers.
Step 2: Update the installed CP4BA operator
