Installation Instructions – Resolution A
----------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
- Download LinuxX86_64_SDK_7.0.10.20 from Fix Central
- As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI - cd <UI_HOME>
- Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig - As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-7.0-10.20.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path <UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-70
This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-70 folder in <UI_HOME> - If necessary, change the ownership of the newly installed SDK e.g. chown -R scadmin:scadmin /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI/ibm-java*
- As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Remove Update Instructions – Resolution A
----------------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
- As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop - As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-7.0-10.20.bin and follow the prompts to uninstall the Java that was installed to <UI_HOME>
- As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig ibm-java-x86_64-70 - As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Installation Instructions – Resolution B
--------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
- Download LinuxX86_64_SDK_8.0.5.10 from Fix Central
- As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI - cd <UI_HOME>
- Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig - As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-8.0-5.10.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path
<UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-80
This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-80 folder in <UI_HOME> - If necessary, change the ownership of the newly installed SDK
e.g. chown –R scadmin:scadmin /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI/ibm-java* - As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start the UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Remove Update Instructions – Resolution B
---------------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
- As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
