Installing and uninstalling fix packs

Preparing a fix pack for installation or removal.

Preparing to install or uninstall a fix pack

The fix pack utility updates an existing installation of CICS® Transaction Gateway. Fix packs are available online and, for more information see Fix Central.

The fix pack utility runs in console mode and must be run by a user with a suitable level of authority. On Windows platforms, log on with administrator privileges; on UNIX and Linux® platforms log on as root.

Before installing or uninstalling the fix pack, shut down any local CICS TG applications, the Gateway daemon, and then the Client daemon. Make sure that the Client daemon process cclclnt has ended.

On IBM® AIX® systems after the Client daemon has stopped, issue the command:
/usr/sbin/slibclean

JVM packages

The following downloadable JVM packages are available:
  • Windows, IBM AIX, Linux on POWER®, Linux for Intel, and Linux for IBM z Systems®

The actual releases available for a particular platform might vary, depending on the release schedule from the JTC.
