Prerequisites

  • IBM Product Master 12.0
  • Hardware and software compatibility: For information, see System requirements for the IBM Product Master.
  • OpenShift® container platform -  4.8.x
  • Update configuration parameters in the env_settings.ini file. For more information, see Customizing the Persona-based UI features.
  • If there are any customizations, back up the Login.wpcs script as the Login.wpcs has been updated, and will be overwritten when the migration script is run.

Modifying the database schema

No database schema migration is required.

Note: 

  • In case of any docstore-related error, rerun the migrateToInstalledFP.sh migration script.
  • For the GDS feature, you need to perform database schema migration.

Installation instructions

For more information, see  Applying fix pack. See Installing (accelerated deployment) for the operator-based deployment. 

Postinstallation instructions

  • You need to import the latest mdmce-env.zip, vendorportal.zip, and dammodel.zip files.
  • If you run the configureEnv.sh script with no overwrite option, the existing mdmce-roles.json file gets retained and needs manual merge. But if you run the configureEnv.sh script with overwrite option,
    • Backup of the existing mdmce-roles.json file gets created.
    • The new mdmce-roles.json file gets created from its default file.
  • Entries of the Completeness Lookup Table need to be saved after the mdmce-env.zip file import.
  • The mongodb_username and mongodb_password properties in the env_settings.ini file are used for both Digital Assets Management and Machine learning.
  • You need to re-run the SDP scripts for the respective catalogs since with this release a new feature is introduced that converts the Elasticsearch Lucene score into the standard percentile score. For more information, see Configuring SDP for a catalog. 

Uninstallation instructions

Delete the $TOP folder and reinstall the IBM Product Master 12.0.
