1.0 Installing the fix pack

If you customized version 5.4.2 of WDME, you must do the following:

  1. Install the fix pack as described below.
  2. Review the list of files which were updated by the fix pack. This list corresponds to the files copied to the backup directory. If you have customized any of these files you may have to manually merge the files. More information about backed up files follows in "Uninstalling the fix pack."
  3. Determine changes by running a difference of your backed up files against the 5.4.2 version of WDME.
  4. Manually merge the backed up files that you have customized into the WDME store directories.
  5. Test your implementation.

To install the fix pack, do the following:

  1. Ensure that the WebSphere Application Server is running. Ensure that the e-mail, delivery, and upload daemons are stopped.
  2. Save the file WDME542_fixpak_1.zip to a temporary directory. The zip file contains the following directories for file comparison:
  3. Extract and run the following file in the same directory where you initially installed WDME:

    Note that the installation wizard will contain defaults for the fields below.

  4. In the Directory Name field, type the directory in which WDME 5.4.2 was installed. For example, install_dir\WebSphere\CommerceServer\WCDM
  5. Click Next.
  6. In the WAS hostname field, type the TCP/IP hostname of your WebSphere Application Server node. Do not include the domain name.
  7. In the WAS port number field, type the port number used by WebSphere Application Server. The default is typically:
  8. In the WAS install location, type the directory where WebSphere Application Server was installed. For example, install_dir\WebSphere\AppServer
  9. Click Next.
  10. In the WC instance name field, type the name of your WebSphere Commerce instance. This can be found in the directory install_dir\WebSphere\CommerceServer\instances
  11. In the WC install location field, type the directory in which WebSphere Commerce was installed. For example, install_dir\WebSphere\CommerceServer
  12. Click Next.
  13. In the Store directory field, type the directory of the WDME store. For example, if the WDME store directory is located in install_dir\WebSphere\AppServer\installedApps\WC_Enterprise_App_instance_name.ear\wcstores.war\store_name,
    type store_name in this field.
  14. Click Next. The summary displays. Click Next again to complete the installation.
  15. Click Finish to exit the installation.
  16. Restart the e-mail, delivery and upload daemons.

Note: If you have multiple stores, you must install the fix pack for each WDME store.

1.1 Uninstalling the fix pack

The fix pack installation backs up all the files that it replaces. Files are backed up in the following directory:

/WDME_installdir/backup/store_directoryYYYYMMDDHHMMSS

where store_directoryYYYYMMDDHHMMSS is the store name and current timestamp.

The store_directoryYYYYMMDDHHMMSS directory corresponds to the WC_Enterprise_app_instance_name.ear directory. The directory structure of the backed up files is maintained such that you can remove the fix pack and restore your original files by doing the following:

Windows

  1. cd WDME_installdir\backup\store_directoryYYYYMMDDHHMMSS
  2. uninstallfixpak.bat

UNIX

  1. cd WDME_installdir/backup/store_directoryYYYYMMDDHHMMSS
  2. uninstallfixpak.sh

Note that if you have installed the fix pack for multiple stores, you must uninstall the fix pack for each WDME store.
