----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Obtain the interim fix
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Contact IBM Software Support for information about upgrades for Maximo Anywhere
and how to obtain this interim fix.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Pre-installation steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Before proceeding, make a complete backup of the following folders. Default folder locations are provided below.

Maximo Admin Workstation: /IBM/SMP
Maximo Anywhere Build Server: /IBM/Anywhere

Also, make a complete backup of the Maximo database instance.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update the IBM Maximo Asset Management environment
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download and extract the oslcos_pmp_deploy_latest.zip and anywhereadmin_pmp_deploy_latest.zip files to the ../IBM/SMP/maximo directory.

2. Update the database and build and deploy the EAR file, according to your version of Maximo Asset Management:

- On Maximo Asset Management 7.5.0.6 or greater, run the updatedb command in the ../IBM/SMP/maximo/tools/maximo directory. Build and deploy the EAR file.

- On Maximo Asset Management 7.6 or greater, from the Tivoli's process automation suite configuration tool, run the Update Database and Build and Deploy Application EAR Files option.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install the apps
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To install the apps, complete the following steps:

1. Download and extract the platform-Latest.delta.zip file to the <install_home>/MaximoAnywhere/platform directory.

2. On Windows and Linux, extract the MaximoAnywhere_7.6.1.0.latest.delta.zip to the <install_home>/MaximoAnywhere directory. Overwrite the existing MaximoAnywhere directory.

For Mac OS x systems, extract the file to a different location. Do not use Finder to overwrite the existing MaximoAnywhere directory. Instead, in a terminal, use ditto and run the following command: ditto <from_folder> <destination_folder>.

3. Extract the MaximoAnywhere/build/config/app_artifacts_previous.zip file into the MaximoAnywhere/apps path.

4. Run the following command to upgrade your WorkExecution.xml file to the latest version:

ant -f app-sparse-xml-processor.xml upgrade-previous-release-app-artifacts

5. Run the anywhere-rdfs-puller.xml file that is in the MaximoAnywhere directory.

6. If you are building android apps, update your build.properties property to Android_TARGET_DEVICE_NAME=android-23. Also, you must download the Android 23 SDK in your Android SDK Manager.

7. For Windows, run the following command:

build.cmd clean update-platform all

For Mac OS X, run the following command:

./build.sh clean update-platform all

Post-installation steps
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you have customized your Maximo Object Structures rerun the OSLC RDF Puller to pull the latest OSLC RDF documents:

https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSPJLC_7.6.2/com.ibm.si.mpl.doc/integration/t_import_resource_data.html

Reapply any changes you might have made to the app-feature.properties file to reenable any custom properties you might have changed.
 
Verifying that your local customizations still exist:

Run a comparison tool like Beyond Compare to compare your backed up directory to the newly updated one.

Verify that any (class files, device native code or javascript) customizations you have made are still in place, and reapply them if not.

Verify that your app.xml file changes are still there.

Verify that the bundleids in your application-description.xml file are correct.

If you have customized the logos on the login screen or any of the platform XML files, you must manually reapply those changes.
