Apply maintenance to an existing IZSME installation

Use this procedure to apply maintenance to an existing IZSME installation.

Before you begin

Locate the latest IZSME maintenance and use SMP/E to apply the PTF to your IZSME libraries.

About this task

This task uses the following sample jobs that are provided in data set #tgthlq.SIUWSAMP:
  • IUWMUPPT
  • IUWMMPPT (for Zowe 1 environments only)
In each job, the JCL provides instructions about how to customize the job before running it.

The following instructions explain how to apply maintenance or upgrades to your IZSME installation.

Procedure

The process for applying IZSME maintenance depends on your Zowe version, as follows:
For Zowe 2 environments
  1. Update the IZSME runtime files by running job IUWMUPPT, which extracts an IZSME PTF. Follow the customization instructions inside the script.
    Note: This job (IUWMUPPT) upgrades the target IZSME installation directory. If you have installed the same IZSME installation directory into multiple Zowe instances, running this job upgrades the IZSME plug-in for all Zowe instances.
  2. Check if the specific maintenance level has additional instructions and perform further steps if applicable.
  3. Restart each Zowe instance to pick up the changes.
For Zowe 1 environments
  1. Update the IZSME runtime files by running job IUWMUPPT, which extracts an IZSME PTF. Follow the customization instructions inside the script.
    Note: This job (IUWMUPPT) upgrades the target IZSME installation directory. If you have installed the same IZSME installation directory into multiple Zowe instances, running this job upgrades the IZSME plug-in for all Zowe instances.
  2. Complete the application of maintenance for Zowe 1 environments by running job IUWMMPPT.
  3. Check if the specific maintenance level has additional instructions and perform further steps if applicable.
    Important: When you apply PTF OA64754 in a Zowe 1 environment, you must perform the following steps after completing the PTF installation:
    1. Delete the following file:
      <ZOWE_HOME>/workspace/app-server/plugins/com.rs.ctds_common.json
    2. Run the following command to install IZSME into the Zowe instance:
      <ZOWE_HOME>/bin/install-app.sh <IZSME_HOME>/ctds_common
    where:
    • IZSME_HOME is the path to the IZSME directory
    • ZOWE_HOME is the path to the Zowe instance directory
  4. Restart each Zowe instance to pick up the changes.
