Install the interim fix on the servers

The following tells you how to install this interim fix. Once you have installed an interim fix, you cannot uninstall it automatically. For details of how to revert to the previous version see Revert to the previous version.

On every system where you have the administration server, the runtime server, or both, perform the following steps:

  1. Log on to the computer using an account with administration authority.
  2. Ensure that WebSphere Application Server is up and is running. If you apply the interim fix with the WebSphere Application Server not running, the interim fix might not be correctly installed.
  3. Stop the Tivoli License Manager servers: If either the administration or the runtime server, or both, are running while the interim fix is installed, the installation would take longer, as the interim fix installation process would stop the servers, and some errors will be logged. However the interim fix would be correctly applied.
  4. If the computer is running a Tivoli License Manager runtime server, check that the Agent self update parameter is disabled, by taking the following steps:
    1. Edit the file <INST_DIR>\runtime\conf\system.properties
    2. Check that the following parameter is set to "no", modifying it, if necessary:
      # Agent self-update enablement 
      updateAgentEnabled=no
      

    3. If you had to modify the self-update setting, and you have not already stopped the runtime server, do so now by issuing the command: <INST_DIR>\runtime\cli\srvstop.
  5. To install the interim fix, run one of the following, depending on your platform:
    Windows
    setupwin32.exe
    AIX
    setupaix.bin
    During the installation you will need to choose a valid directory where you want to back up the changed files. The default path is: <INSTALL_DIR>\1.1.1-TLM-0005, where 1.1.1-TLM-0005 is a directory created by the backup process. This directory will subsequently referred to in this document as <BACKUP_DIR>.

    In this directory you will find all the changed files in the same tree structure as they are in the product. To avoid any confusion with the product files, a tilde (~) has been suffixed to each file name in this directory.

    The interim fix installation creates a file called product.xml in the <INSTALL_DIR> directory. This file contains information about product and interim fix versions. An install.log file is also created in the <INSTALL_DIR> directory if any error or warning is generated during the interim fix installation.

    Any changes to the configuration files that you have made prior to installing this interim fix will be preserved by the install process.

  6. After the interim fix is installed, the runtime server configuration parameter parm.useproxy is set to n. If you are using a proxy server between your runtime server and its agents, set this parameter to y. The parameter parm.useproxy is in the agent_install.properties file in the <INSTALL_DIR>\runtime\conf directory, and the only valid values are y, Y, n and N.
  7. If the system has a Tivoli License Manager administration server installed, restart the server by issuing the command:
    <INSTALL_DIR>\admin\cli\srvstart
  8. If the system has a Tivoli License Manager runtime server installed, restart the server by issuing the command:
    <INSTALL_DIR>\runtime\cli\srvstart
