Installation Instructions – Resolution A
----------------------------------------------------------
1. Download ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.25-x86_64-archive.bin from Fix Central
2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, 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
3. cd <UI_HOME>
4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig
5. If necessary, make the .bin file executable:
chmod u+x ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.25-x86_64-archive.bin
6. Run the ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.25-x86_64-archive.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>
7. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Remove Update Instructions – Resolution A
----------------------------------------------------------------
1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
2. Replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_7.0.10.25
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig ibm-java-x86_64-70
3. Start the UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Installation Instructions – Resolution B
--------------------------------------------------------
1. Download ibm-java-sdk-8.0-5.15-x86_64-archive.bin from Fix Central
2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, 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
3. cd <UI_HOME>
4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig
5. If necessary, make the .bin file executable:
chmod u+x ibm-java-sdk-8.0-5.15-x86_64-archive.bin
6. Run the ibm-java-sdk-8.0-5.15-x86_64-archive.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>
7. Start the UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Remove Update Instructions – Resolution B
---------------------------------------------------------------
1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
2. Replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_8.0.5.15
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig ibm-java-x86_64-80
3. Start the UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
