IC67052: PCOM: INI OPTIONS NOT USED WITH SILENT INSTALL UPGRADE FROM 5.7 TO 5.9

Personal Communications 5.9.7
Personal Communications 6.0.1

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• User is migrating from 5.7.1.3 to 5.9.5 using Silent Install.
  The command line is:
  
  Setup.exe /S /v"USEINI=%INST%\pcomm\Pcomm595.ini
  REBOOT=ReallySuppress
  /L*v %TEMP%\PCOMM595.log /qb-!"
  
  The install runs fine but when you try to run Certificate
  Manager utility you get a popup that the install needs to
  complete. This is not working as expected.
  
  The INI file shows that Certificate Manager and SSL are both set
  to be installed but this is not happening.

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All response file users of migration.        *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The combination of migration and        *
  *                      response file (INI) use can cause       *
  *                      feature selection to fail.              *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  When using a response file, we make feature selections match
  the selections decribed in the response file.
  
  When migrating, we make the feature selections match the
  features selected in the currently installed version.
  
  If both migration and response file use are occurring, then
  whichever feature selection altering function runs last will
  win.  Currently the migration logic is applied after the
  response file logic, so the migration logic effectively
  overrides the contents of the response file.
  

Problem conclusion

• Altered the order of logic processing so that response file
  processing will override standard migration processing.
  
  The IS project file for the iniutils merge module was changed.
