How to apply this patch
-----------------------
Notes: All reference to INFOHOME indicates the root directory where Netcool/Reporter 
is installed.

1. Shut down the Netcool/Reporter application.
   
   - Exit any Netcool/Reporter clients.
   - Shut down Netcool/Reporter server.

2. Back up the Netcool/Reporter file system and repository database
   (recommended).

3. The package is delivered as a compressed UNIX tar file: 
   reporter2.1-patch-48548-42281-0-aix.tar.gz
   Extract this tar file into a temporary directory (for example, /opt/tmp) as follows:

	% cd /opt/tmp 
	% gzip -dc reporter2.1-patch-48548-42281-0-aix.tar.gz | tar xvf -

4. A subdirectory reporter2.1-patch-48548-42281-0-aix is created under the temporary 
   directory(for example, /opt/tmp/reporter2.1-patch-48548-42281-0-aix). All files and 
   utilities required to install the patch are extracted into this subdirectory.

5. Change to this subdirectory /reporter2.1-patch-48548-42281-0-aix/ which contains the 
   patch files to be installed.
   
6. Run the "setup.sh" script.

	% setup.sh

7. The patch installer may request the location of the Netcool/Reporter 
   directory if the $INFOHOME environment is not defined. For example, if 
   Netcool/Reporter 2.0 is installed in the 
   /opt/netcool/reporter/apache/htdocs/infospc directory, then when the installer    
   asks for the INFOHOME location, type: 
   
        /opt/netcool/reporter/apache/htdocs/infospc

8. The patch installer backs up existing files into the following directory before   
   copying the new files over.
   
	$INFOHOME/backup/vpatch_reporter2.1-patch-48548-42281-0-aix 
    
9. Once the patch is processed completely, start Netcool/Reporter.
