Software package block (SPB) fix pack install for GUI components

To upgrade the GUI components of IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager using the SPB fix packs on endpoints or stand-alone machines, use one of the following installation mechanisms:

The SPB fix packs prerequisite the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, version 4.2 GA package.

For a successful fix pack installation using any of these installation mechanisms, you must ensure that the values of the default variables specified in the software package block correspond to the existing installation on the machine to be upgraded. If they do not correspond, ensure they are stored in the swdis.var file. If these values were deleted from the swdis.var file, you must overwrite them at fix pack installation time using the appropriate panel of the SPB Patch Installer, or using the "-D" command line option (wdinstsp -D variable=value GUI_component.spb).

The default variables defined in the SPB fix packs are listed in the following table for each component.

SPB Patch Installer

This installation method uses ISMP technology and enables you to install fix packs on an endpoint or stand-alone machine to upgrade IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2 GUI components. The SPB Patch Installer is supported on Microsoft Windows, IBM AIX, Solaris Operating Environment, Linux (for Intel(TM)), and HP-UX.

The following is a summary of the upgrade process using the SPB Patch Installer. Refer to the SPB Patch Installer Guide located in the spb_installer directory on the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2 Fix Pack 4 CD (2 of 2) for complete instructions on using this tool.

To install the SPB fix packs using the SPB Patch Installer, perform the following steps:

  1. Insert the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2 Fix Pack 4 CD (2 of 2).
  2. Locate and run the setup program located in the spb_installer directory.
  3. Read the Welcome panel and click Next.
  4. Specify the XML descriptor file for the fix pack located in the /package directory on the IBM Tivoli Configuration Manager, Version 4.2 Fix Pack 4 CD (2 of 2). Click Next.
  5. Select the Apply option and click Next.
  6. Specify the components you want to install and click Next.
  7. Clear the selection of the components for which you do not want to install in undoable mode. Click Next.
  8. You may be prompted to specify the value of some variables defined in the SPB. Ensure that they are consistent with the existing installation on the machine to be upgraded.
  9. A Summary panel is displayed. Click Next.
  10. The upgrade process starts.

Software Distribution server command

To use this type of installation, your Tivoli environment must contain an installation of the Software Distribution Server component, the Software Distribution Gateway component, and a Tivoli endpoint. The following steps must be performed to apply the SPB fix pack on the targets:

  1. Create a new Profile in a Profile Manager, using the naming convention described in Table 42.
  2. Import the SPB fix pack provided into the new Profile.
  3. Select the endpoints to which you want to distribute the fix pack.
  4. Submit the install using either the command line or the Tivoli desktop.

If you need to overwrite the values of the default variables, use the "-D" option (winstsp -D variable=value GUI_component.spb) from the command line, or the Default Variables panel from the Tivoli desktop.

Software Distribution disconnected command

To use this type of installation, you must have the Software Distribution Software Package Editor component installed on the endpoint. If you need to overwrite the values of the default variables, use the "-D" option (wdinstsp -D variable=value GUI_component.spb) from the command line.
