Installation Instructions

Before installing this interim fix, download the interim fix to a dedicated location: 9.0.0.0-WS-ODM-IF004.zip

This interim fix includes all fixes from previous versions on the 9.0.0.0-WS-ODM component.

To install the interim fix, ODM on premise instructions :

  • Install the interim fix using one of the following methods:
    • Installation using the IBM Installation Manager UI
      1. Select File > Preferences > Repositories.
      2. Click Add Repository, browse to select the downloaded zip file, and confirm.
      3. Back in the main UI, select Update and follow the instructions.
    • Silent installation using IBM Installation Manager commands
      1. Find the fix ID with the command:
      2. imcl listAvailableFixes com.ibm.websphere.odm.dc.v90_9.0.0 -repositories <zip-location>/com.ibm.odm.<your_app_server>_9.0.0.0-IF004.zip
        or
        imcl listAvailableFixes com.ibm.websphere.odm.ds.rules.v90_9.0.0 -repositories <zip-location>/com.ibm.odm.<your_app_server>_9.0.0.0-IF004.zip
        Both will give the same result but use the correct one depending on DC or DS, as it could impact the uninstall.
        The fix ID has the following pattern:
        com.ibm.odm.<your_app_server>.v90-fix_3.0.0.IFxxx
      3. Install with the command:
        imcl install <fix ID> -repositories <zip-location>/com.ibm.odm.<your_app_server>_9.0.0.0-IF004.zip -installationDirectory <odm_home>
      4. The ifix zip and fix ID depend on the appserver.

To install the interim fix, ODM on Kubernetes instructions :

  • Install the interim fix using one of the following methods:
    • Using images in registry:

      Set $name to the name of the ODM deployment.

      1. Retrieve helm values for your deployment: 
        helm get values $name > myodmvalues.yaml
      2. Upgrade your deployment with helm: 
        helm upgrade $name -f myodmvalues.yaml ibm-helm/ibm-odm-prod --version 24.0.4
    • Air gap installation:

      Set $name to the name of the ODM deployment.

      1. Update your mirror images following the Mirroring images to a private registry documentation.
      2. Retrieve helm values for your deployment: 
        helm get values $name > myodmvalues.yaml
      3. Upgrade your deployment with helm: 
        helm upgrade $name -f myodmvalues.yaml \
                 --set image.repository=$TARGET_REGISTRY/cp/cp4a/odm/ \
