Prerequisites and Supersedes

Components impacted

Before installation

If you have Cloud Pak for Business Automation 21.0.1 deployed on a Kubernetes cluster that has access to the internet, then your deployment should be upgraded automatically to this interim fix. This is a change in behavior starting with 21.0.1-IF005. In other words, when this interim fix is released and published, the CP4BA Operator will automatically be updated to the latest published interim fix. After the CP4BA Operator is successfully upgraded then the components that you have installed on your cluster will automatically be upgraded unless you changed the Approval Strategy for CP4BA Operator from "Automatic" (default) to "Manual".
Note: if you have 21.0.1 installed using air gap, you still need to follow this readme to upgrade to this interim fix as the upgrade will not occur automatically.
If you have Cloud Pak for Business Automation 20.0.3.x or older currently installed (e.g., 20.0.3-IF005 currently installed) or if you have 21.0.1 installed using air gap, you can update the deployment to this interim fix by following this readme starting with the Installing section and the instructions in the IBM Documentation.
If you want to use this interim fix as a part of a new deployment, refer to IBM Documentation IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation 21.0.x.

Installing

Step 1: Get access to the interim fix container images
You can access the container images in the IBM image registry with your IBMid. You should already have admin.registrykey secret and ibm-entitlement-key secret (if you have BAW and/or BAI installed) already created from the current deployment. If these secrets no longer exist, then follow the steps below to create them.
Create a pull secret for the IBM Cloud Entitled Registry
  1. Log in to MyIBM Container Software Library with the IBMid and password that is associated with the entitled software.
  2. In the Container software library tile, click "View library" and then click "Copy key" to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.
  3. Log in to your Kubernetes cluster and set the context to the project/namespace for your existing deployment.
  4. Create image pull secrets by running kubectl create secret commands below.
    $ kubectl create secret docker-registry admin.registrykey --docker-server=cp.icr.io --docker-username=cp --docker-password="<API_KEY_GENERATED>" --docker-email=<USER_EMAIL>
    $ kubectl create secret docker-registry ibm-entitlement-key --docker-server=cp.icr.io --docker-username=cp --docker-password="<API_KEY_GENERATED>" --docker-email=<USER_EMAIL>
    Note: The "cp.icr.io" value for the docker-server parameter is the only registry domain name that contains the images. Use "cp" for the docker-username. The docker-email must be a valid email address (associated to your IBM ID). Make sure you are copying the Entitlement Key in the docker-password field within double quotation marks.
  5. Take a note of the secret and the server values so that you can set them to the "pullSecrets" and "repository" parameters when you update the operator for your containers.
Step 2: Update the installed CP4BA operator

Known Limitations 

Operational Decision Manager
When you install the Operational Decision Manager 21.0.1 IF006 in Demo mode, Decision Center server definitions are not set correctly.
As a consequence, it is not possible to deploy pre-populated projects to the Decision Server console or to run simulations.
To fix the problem:
  • Log in to the Decision Center Business console as Administrator odmAdmin/odmAdmin.
  • Go to the Administration tab and select the Servers sub tab.
  • Edit the Decision Service Execution URL from http://odm-decisionserverconsole:9080/res to https://icp4adeploy-odm-decisionserverconsole:9443/res
  • Click Done.
  • Edit the Test and Simulation Execution URL from https://odm-demo-odm-decisionrunner:9443/DecisionRunner to https://icp4adeploy-odm-decisionrunner:9443/DecisionRunner
  • Click Done.
Note: icp4adeploy is the default name of a Demo installation.
