Updating IBM Semeru Runtime in IBM Watson Explorer Analytical Components (version 12.0.3.17 or later)

Follow these steps after you download the required version of IBM Semeru Runtime for your operating system from Fix Central:

1. On the master server, log in as the Content Analytics administrator.
2. Change to the ES_INSTALL_ROOT/bin directory and enter the command "esadmin stop" to stop the system.
3. Enter the command "stopccl" (stopccl.sh on UNIX platforms) to stop the Common Communication Layer.
4. Rename the following directories (e.g., _jvm.orig).
   • On AIX and Linux:
     • %ES_INSTALL_ROOT%\_jvm
   • On Windows:
     • $ES_INSTALL_ROOT/_jvm
5. Create empty directory, _jvm, at the same location.
6. Copy the files that you extracted from the JRE packages to the _jvm directory. Example: jdk-17.0.17+10-jre -> jre
7. On UNIX systems, enter the command "ls -la" to see whether the read/write/execute privileges and ownership settings for the new _jvm file match the settings for the original directory. If they do not match, run the chown command to change the settings.
   • chown -R esadmin $ES_INSTALL_DIR/_jvm
8. For a multiple server installation, run steps 3 - 7 on all servers.
9. Restart the Services.
   1. On all servers, log in as the Content Analytics administrator, change to the ES_INSTALL_ROOT/bin directory, and enter the command "startccl" (startccl.sh on UNIX platforms) to start the Common Communication Layer.
   2. On the master server, enter the command "esadmin system startall" to start the Watson Explorer Content Analytics system.

Agent for Windows File Systems

If you installed the Agent for Windows File Systems, follow these steps to update IBM Semeru Runtime on the agent server:

1. On the agent server, change to the ES_AGENT_INSTALL_ROOT\bin directory and enter the command "esagent stop" to stop the agent server.
2. Rename the following directory (e.g., _jvm.orig):
   • %ES_AGENT_INSTALL_ROOT%\_jvm
3. Create an empty directory, _jvm, at the same location.
4. Copy the files that you extracted from the JRE package to the _jvm directory.
5. Enter the command "esagent start" to start the agent server.
