Installing fixes on top of an existing text search server

You can install fixes on top of your existing installation of IBM® Text Search for Db2 for z/OS®.

Before you begin

Attention: Before you install a fix, read the attached release notes to determine the prerequisites or migration procedures that apply to the fix.

To install fixes on top of your current installation of a text search server:

Change the directory to the USER_INSTALL_DIR directory of your current installation of the text search server.
Stop the text search server by running the shutdown script.

Option Description

On Linux® or Linux on IBM Z®, enter the following command: bin/shutdown.sh

On Windows, enter the following command from a command prompt: bin\shutdown

To open a command prompt window, click Start -> Run, enter ‘cmd', and click OK. The command prompt window opens. Change to a directory other than USER_INSTALL_DIR.

Option	Description
On Linux® or Linux on IBM Z®, enter the following command:	`bin/shutdown.sh`
On Windows, enter the following command from a command prompt:	`bin\shutdown`

Copy the installation executable file to the directory that you specified.

Make sure that the ibmts_response.txt file resides in this directory. The following table shows the names of the installation executable files.
