Version 1.0.2.0 release notes (October 2017)

What's new

Administering

• The ap command now prints a time stamp each time it is run.
• The ap sw command now displays the version of Db2® Warehouse containers.
• The dashdb component in the output of the ap sw command has been renamed to db2.
• Hostnames for NTP servers might now be specified by using the apsetup command.
• NTP configuration has been improved in order to be more robust.

Upgrading

• A bundle upgrade now updates the overall IAS software version.
• Reboots have been eliminated, so software upgrades can now be completed with a single command.
• A clean shutdown of services no longer requires a reboot.
• The docker engine upgrade is now automated.
• The Db2 Warehouse environment customizations are now preserved during an upgrade.
• When you upgrade by using the apupgrade command with the --list-versions parameter specified, the upgrade command associated with the particular release is displayed.

Commands

The apdiag command includes the following new parameters:

--minus-components [component [component ...]]

Space-separated list of one or more components to omit when collecting data. To list all the available components, run the apdiag list --components command.

--skip-secure-data

Specifies that the components that contain secure data are not included in data collection. The components which are not included in data collection are indicated by the log file.

--dumpdir dump_directory

Specifies dump directory as an absolute path on localhost. By default, the directory name is based on a time stamp and created in /opt/ibm/appliance/storage/scratch/apdiag/dump/timestamp_pid.

Resolved issues

• Pre-install steps are now skipped for components already up-to-date.
• Adding DNS search domains no longer incorrectly adds the word domains in the resolv.conf file.
• Nodes are now included in the VLAN. Therefore, by using VLAN to access IAS, you can also directly access the nodes.
