Applying an interim fix to a single node on Windows

A single node includes one to four members (catalog, container, informational, operational). Use this procedure for stand-alone upgrades.

Before you begin

Access the media package of files that includes the IBM® installation launchpad.
Use the IBM installation launchpad, IBM Installation Manager, and commands to upgrade a single node of B2B Advanced Communications on Windows.
Before you run the Installation Manager, it must be configured with a repository file. IBM recommends that you run the Installation Manager by first starting the launchpad. The launchpad automatically configures the Installation Manager with the repository file that is required for the upgrade.
However, if you have access only to a console and not a Windows interface, you can upgrade from a stand-alone installation of the Installation Manager. For information about manually configuring the Installation Manager with a repository file, see Adding a repository file to the Installation Manager.

Attention:

The upgrade documentation might be subject to change. Refer to the documentation that accompanied the interim fix for the latest upgrade procedure.
This upgrade requires an outage of B2B Advanced Communications, so it does not support high availability.

Enter all commands from the install_dir\Members\bin directory.

If you need to roll back the upgrade, see Rolling back an upgrade in Windows.

To upgrade a single node on Windows with an interim fix, complete the following steps:

If the node is running, stop the node by entering the following command:
```
execute member stop all
```
Upgrade the node by using the procedure at Running the interim fix upgrade software on Windows.
Configure the message fabric endpoint and system properties files by using one of the following procedures. You also start the upgraded node.
- Merging new and existing properties files after an upgrade of an existing installation on Windows
- Manually changing properties files after an upgrade of a new installation on Windows
Confirm the version number of the upgrade by entering the following command:
```
execute member list
```
The upgrade is complete, and you can now resume the operation of B2B Advanced Communications.
Important: Before you access the upgraded version of B2B Advanced Communications, clear the browser cache to make sure that you access the upgraded application, including the latest login screen.
