If you would like to install maintenance without the graphical
user interface, you can use the Update Installer for WebSphere® Software to install a Feature Pack for SCA refresh pack in silent
mode.
Before you begin
Before starting this installation, do the following:
- Ensure that you have a WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0 installation
with the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.0 installed.
- Download and install the IBM Update Installer Version 7.0.0.3
or later from the IBM support site. For more information, see the
topic Installing the Update Installer.
newfeatDownload the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.5
fix pack. Using the IBM Update Installer, install the WebSphere Application Server Version 7.0.0.5
fix pack. The Version 7.0.0.5 fix pack must be installed before you
can install the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.1 refresh pack.
- Download the Feature Pack for SCA Version 1.0.1 refresh pack, 1.0_WS_SCA_RP000000.1.pak, into the updi_root/maintenance directory. Do not unzip the pak file.
Use the Update Installer
program from the same user ID that installed the product that you
are updating. Otherwise, the file ownership mismatches might require
correction by the root user. See Using root or non-root when installing with the Update Installer for more information.
About this task
Follow these steps to install a maintenance package:
Procedure
- Stop all processes for the application server product on
which you are installing the feature pack.
Stop the
application server and any other product processes. For example, for
the Network Deployment product, stop the deployment manager, the node
agent, and all application server processes.
- Edit the response file and customize it for your environment.
The response file is at updi_home/responsefiles/install.txt. Set values for the following
options:
-OPT silentInstallLicenseAcceptance="true"
-OPT disableOSPrereqChecking="true"
-W maintenance.package=/pak_directory_path/1.0-WS-SCA-RP0000001.pak
-W product.location="/app_server_root"
-W update.type="install"
- Run the Update Installer.
For example:
update.bat -silent -options "responsefiles\file_name"
update.exe -silent -options "responsefiles\file_name"
./update.sh -silent -options "responsefiles/file_name"
- Review the log file to verify that maintenance is installed
successfully.
You can find the log at app_server_root/logs/update/maintenance_package.install.
Results
One of the following results appears in the log:
- INSTCONFSUCCESS
- The operation was a success.
- INSTCONFPARTIALSUCCESS
- The operation was partially successful, refer to the log for more
details.
- INSTCONFFAILED
- The operation failed, refer to the log for more details. In some
cases, you might not receive an error message for a failed installation.
If you silently install a maintenance package and you do not receive
a response after a short period of time, view the logs. If logs are
not generated, then an invalid or missing argument might be causing
the installation to fail. Verify the Update Installer syntax for the
command line with the response files install.txt and uninstall.txt, located under Installed_UPDI_root/responsefiles.
What to do next
After successful installation of the maintenance package,
if you already have a profile enabled for the Feature Pack for SCA,
unaugment and then augment the existing Feature Pack for SCA profile.
If you do not have a profile enabled for the Feature Pack for
SCA, create a new profile to use the feature pack functionality. Follow
these steps to create a profile using the Profile Management tool:
- Open the Profile Management tool.
- On the Profile Management tool panel, click Create.
- On the Welcome to the Profile Management tool panel, click Next.
- On the Environment Selection panel, select a Feature Pack for
SCA profile type and click Next.
- Complete the steps to create the profile.
After you create the profile, start the server and open
the administrative console for the application server.
