Installation Instructions – Resolution A

----------------------------------------------------------
1. Download ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.35-x86_64-archive.bin from Fix Central

2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI

3. cd <UI_HOME>

4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig

5. If necessary, make the .bin file executable:
chmod u+x ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.35-x86_64-archive.bin

6. Run the ibm-java-sdk-7.0-10.35-x86_64-archive.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path
<UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-70
This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-70 folder in <UI_HOME>

7. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

 

Remove Update Instructions – Resolution A

----------------------------------------------------------------

1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop

2. Replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_7.0.10.35
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig ibm-java-x86_64-70

3. Start the UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

 

 

Installation Instructions – Resolution B

 

--------------------------------------------------------

1. Download ibm-java-sdk-8.0-5.25-x86_64-archive.bin from Fix Central

2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI

3. cd <UI_HOME>

4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig

5. If necessary, make the .bin file executable:
chmod u+x ibm-java-sdk-8.0-5.25-x86_64-archive.bin

6. Run the ibm-java-sdk-8.0-5.25-x86_64-archive.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path
<UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-80
This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-80 folder in <UI_HOME>

7. Start the UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

 

Remove Update Instructions – Resolution B
---------------------------------------------------------------

1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop

2. Replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_8.0.5.25
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig ibm-java-x86_64-80

3. Start the UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
