PI16574: Fix Pack 1 for Worklight 6.1 cannot be applied when a generic Oracle URL is used during the initial installation of Worklight.

Download for IBM Worklight V6.1.0 Fix Pack 2

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• During the initial installation of Worklight Server, Oracle was
  selected as the Application Center database in Installation
  Manager. On the database server properties panel, the
  selection was made to use a generic JDBC URL. Upon attempting
  to apply fix pack 1, the selections are greyed-out and no
  changes can be made. But the selection shown is to connect to
  a single Oracle server. Since this was not the original
  selection, no host name is specified. This prevents the
  installation of the fix pack.
  

Local fix

• To work around this issue, use a silent install as described
  below:
  
       Using a silent install.

       2- Copy the file 6.1/upgrade-initially-v6.xml
       3 - Edit the file
              - Modify the repository location to the repository
  where the 6.1.0.1 version is
              - Review the profile installLocation and id (if can
  be "IBM Worklight_1" for example, if several versions of IBM
  Worklight are installed
              - Update the offering version (For 6.1.0.1, the
  version is 6.1.0.20140312_0016)
        4 - Run imcl (in

  ****************************************************************
  During the upgrade process from Worklight 6.1 to Fix Pack 1 of
  the same version, if the user provided a generic Oracle JDBC URL
  during the initial installation, this network settings option
  was not kept and prevented the user from moving forward with the
  update.
  

Problem conclusion

• During an upgrade from Worklight 6.1 to Fix Pack 2 or newer, the
  installer now properly checks that all the conditions are met
  before selecting the Oracle network settings option.
