Upgrading Interim Fix (IFIX) dependencies

An interim fix is a code update to resolve security vulnerabilities and on some occasions includes defect fixes. The readme file documents the defects that are resolved along with instructions on how to install it. Follow the instructions to upgrade the dependencies for an IFIX release.

Upgrading IBM Cloud Pak foundational services

To upgrade IBM Cloud Pak foundational services, you first need to upgrade the following dependencies:

IBM Cert Manager 4.13
IBM Licensing 4.13
IBM Zen Service 6.1.3
EDB Postgres 1.22.7

Do the following steps to upgrade IBM Cloud Pak foundational services from version 4.10.0 to version 4.12.0:

oc login --token=<LOGIN TOKEN> --server=https://<SERVER URL>

Upgrade IBM Certificate Manager with the following command:

cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: ibm-cert-manager-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: ibm-cert-manager-4.2.13
  publisher: IBM
  sourceType: grpc
  image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-cert-manager-operator-catalog@sha256:21866a45719eef50764c421c349a539262147d215ef87c8cc2174fdf2c269346
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m
EOF

Upgrade IBM License manager with the following command:

cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: ibm-licensing-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: ibm-licensing-4.2.13
  publisher: IBM
  image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-licensing-catalog@sha256:17980ccacb1aeae19729e7d5129ad0b69e0f18a2c30f9f1a0db1daf9ae7c2e92
  sourceType: grpc
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m
EOF

Upgrate the Cloud Native PostgreSQL with the following command:

cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: cloud-native-postgresql-catalog
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
  annotations:
    bedrock_catalogsource_priority: '1'
spec:
  displayName: Cloud Native Postgresql Catalog
  publisher: IBM
  sourceType: grpc
  image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-cpd-cloud-native-postgresql-operator-catalog@sha256:3b867e7e0879ec24b5058e5db01c0a9be8d9d8d5ef2b7bb1bb7e247babb8b96d
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m
  priority: 100
EOF

Create the catalog to upgrade IBM Cloud Pak foundational services with the following command:

cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: opencloud-operators
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
spec:
  displayName: IBMCS Operators
  publisher: IBM
  sourceType: grpc
  image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-common-service-catalog:4.12.0
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m
EOF

Wait for a while and verify if the catalog source is in READY state with the following command:

echo "Catalog Source Status = $(oc get catalogsource opencloud-operators -n openshift-marketplace -o jsonpath='{.status.connectionState.lastObservedState}')"

Check which namespace the ibm-common-service-operator.v4.10.0 is installed in with the following command:

oc get csv --all-namespaces | grep ibm-common-service-operator.v4.10.0

Update the source and channel in subscription:

a. Go to Installed operators > IBM Cloud Pak foundational services.
b. Open the Subscription tab. c. Click the pencil icon.
d. Choose version 4.12 and save your changes.
e. Wait for a while and check if IBM Cloud Pak foundational services are updated to version 4.12 in the Installed Operators tab or with the following command:

oc get csv --all-namespaces | grep ibm-common-service-operator

Upgrade IBM Zen Service with the following command:

cat <<EOF | oc apply -f -
apiVersion: operators.coreos.com/v1alpha1
kind: CatalogSource
metadata:
  name: ibm-zen-operator-catalog-6-1-0
  namespace: openshift-marketplace
  annotations:
    bedrock_catalogsource_priority: '1'
spec:
  displayName: IBM Zen Operator Catalog
  publisher: IBM
  sourceType: grpc
  image: icr.io/cpopen/ibm-zen-operator-catalog@sha256:209ea4b77b3b0863c591bcdec6f53c4c39dafcb10ff13e27ae4e1cb986a59727
  updateStrategy:
    registryPoll:
      interval: 45m
  priority: 100
EOF

Verify that IBM Operator is updated to version 6.1.3 in Installed Operators > Zen Operator.
Update the Process Mining Operator in Administration > CustomResourceDefinition > Catalog Source > Instances > ibm-automation-processminings. Change the image to the one mentioned in the IFIX Readme. For more information, see IBM Support for Process Mining.
Wait for the status of ibm-automation-processminings to change from TRANSIENT_FAILURE to READY and for the version of Process Mining Operator to change from version 3.5.1 to 3.5.2.
Change the .yaml file of the Process Mining instance from 2.0.1 to 2.0.1_IF001.
Wait for the Process Mining instance status to change to Ready / UI Ready to complete the Interim Fix upgrade.
