Procedures for Linux:
WebSphere Liberty exists in the following folders. You need to update it under each of these folders:
  • /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule/wlp
  • /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder/wlp
Follow the steps after you download the required version of WebSphere Liberty for your operating system from Fix Central. The folders and file names used in the steps are shown for example purpose only. Replace the sample file name with the name of the file that you downloaded.
  1. Shut down ResultsModule and AppBuilder.
  • service resultsmodule-service stop or systemctl stop resultsmodule.service
  • service appbuilder-service stop or systemctl stop appbuilder.service
2. Rename the wlp folders.
  • cd /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule
  • mv wlp wlp.old
  • cd /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder
  • mv wlp wlp.old
3. Extract wlp-base-embeddable-<version>.zip file from the interim fix, and expand in the /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule and /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder folders.
For example,
  • unzip wlp-base-embeddable-22.0.0.3.zip -d /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule
  • unzip wlp-base-embeddable-22.0.0.3.zip -d /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder
4. Move the applications from the wlp.old folder to the wlp folder.
  • mv /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule/wlp.old/usr/servers/ResultsModule /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule/wlp/usr/servers
  • mv /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder/wlp.old/usr/servers/AppBuilder /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder/wlp/usr/servers
5. Change the ownership of the new files to the correct owner and group, on the directory where you extracted wlp:
  • cd /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule
  • chown -R wex-resultsmodule:ibm-wex wlp
  • cd /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder
  • chown -R wex-appbuilder:ibm-wex wlp
6. Remove the old wlp.
  • rm -rf /opt/ibm/WEX/ResultsModule/wlp.old
  • rm -rf /opt/ibm/WEX/AppBuilder/wlp.old
7. Restart ResultsModule and AppBuilder.
  • service resultsmodule-service start or systemctl start resultsmodule.service
  • service appbuilder-service start or systemctl start appbuilder.service

  • Use "Services" to stop ResultsModule
  • Use "Services" to stop AppBuilder
2. Uninstall ResultsModule and AppBuilder services by using the following commands.
  • C:\Program Files\IBM\WEX\ResultsModule\resultsmodule-config.exe
  • C:\Program Files\IBM\WEX\AppBuilder\appbuilder-config.exe
3. Rename the wlp folders to wlp.old by using either Command Prompt or Windows Explorer.
  • cd "C:\Program Files\IBM\WEX\ResultsModule"
  • ren wlp wlp.old
  • cd "C:\Program Files\IBM\WEX\AppBuilder"
  • ren wlp wlp.old
4. Extract wlp-base-embeddable-<version>.zip file from the interim fix, and expand in the C:\Program Files\IBM\WEX\ResultsModule and C:\Program Files\IBM\WEX\AppBuilder folders.
