Question
How do I install a .pak eWAS fixpack on a Windows platform.
Cause
On occasion an eWAS fixpack will fail to install during a Tivoli Integrated Portal ( or other product ) install or upgrade. You can manually install the eWAS fixpack and retry the upgrade. The upgrade will see that the eWAS fixpack is already installed and it will continue on with the rest of the upgrade.
Answer
1) Copy $CD_PATH\cdimage.fixpack\COI\PackageSteps\WASFP\install_WASPAK.txt to $TIP_HOME\WebsphereUpdateInstallerV7\responsefiles
2) Edit the install_WASPAK.txt file in $TIP_HOME\WebsphereUpdateInstallerV7\responsefiles,
change two lines in the file:
From:
-W maintenance.package="@PAYLOAD_FILES_LOCATION@/7.0.0-WS-WASEmbeded-WinX64-FP0000031.pak"
To:
-W maintenance.package="$TIP_HOME\WebsphereUpdateInstallerV7\maintenance\7.0.0-WS-WASEmbeded-WinX64-FP0000031.pak"
AND:
From:
-W product.location="@IAGLOBAL_WAS_HOME@"
To:
-W product.location="$TIP_HOME"
Please Note; the example above shows FP0000031, but it could be any eWAS .pak fixpack.
3) Copy $CD_PATH\cdimage.fixpack\COI\PackageSteps\WASFP\FILES\7.0.0-WS-WASEmbeded-WinX64-FP0000031.pak to the
$TIP_HOME\WebsphereUpdateInstallerV7\maintenance folder.
4) Stop TIP/WAS:
$TIP_HOME\profiles\TIPProfile\bin\stopServer.cmd server1 -username tipadmin -password <password>
Make sure the following process are not running:
$TIP_HOME\java\bin\java.exe
$TIP_HOME\java\jre\bin\java.exe
5) Change directories to $TIP_HOME\WebsphereUpdateInstallerV7
execute the following command:
update -options $TIP_HOME\WebsphereUpdateInstallerV7\responsefiles/install_WASPAK.txt -silent
