WIRELESS CORE PATCH INSTALLATION INFORMATION
=================================================================
-------------------------------------
INSTALLING THE WIRELESS CORE PATCH
-------------------------------------
1) The Partition Maintenance process must NOT be running:

Verify that the Partition Maintenance process is not running:
As user virtuo:
$ ksh
$ schedule_admin -list all

Check the JOBS RUNNING section in the output for any jobs named "pm_*".
For example, pm_weekly, pm_monthly, pm_daily. If any "pm_*" jobs
are listed, this indicates that the Partition Maintenance process is
running. You must wait until there are no "pm_*" jobs running before
starting the install.

Once 'schedule_admin' CLI reports all PM jobs as completed or failed,
make sure no 'zombie' Partition Maintenance processes exist. Run the
following command from 'sqlplus' connected to a PMW database as
DB user 'virtuo':

SELECT sid, serial# FROM v$session WHERE LOWER(module)='partmaint';

Any sessions returned need to be terminated before continuing the install.


2) All services apart from the database should be stopped (sap stop).

As user virtuo set WMCROOT, e.g.:

$ ksh
$ export WMCROOT=/appl/virtuo

Run the patch deploy
$ $WMCROOT/admin/common/install/scripts/deploy_patch -wmcr $WMCROOT -patch vallent-vt-patch-P1320256-TNPM1.3.2.0.256.tar.gz

Providing /appl as the location of the patch.
