Installing the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3.4 fix pack

To install the TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3.4 fix pack, refer to the following instructions.

Before you begin

Before you extract and run the fix pack file, back up the existing TRIRIGA files and make a backup copy of the database. You can extract the fix pack file into any directory.

About this task

Note: In the patch folder for the 3.5.3.4 fix pack, when the fix pack installer backs up the ibm-tririga.war file, the back-up .war file appears as the ibs-tririga.war.bak file.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that no database configuration changes are pending.
  2. Shut down all of the application and process servers.
  3. Take a back-up of both the database and of the existing TRIRIGA install directory for each server. If necessary, you can use the back-ups to revert the system to the current state.

    For IBM WebSphere® Application Server, shutdown the WebSphere enterprise application that runs TRIRIGA and leave the WebSphere Application Server up. After the backup completes, restart WebSphere Application Server.
  4. For Oracle WebLogic Server installations, start and run the Oracle WebLogic Server while you apply the fix pack.
  5. Download the 3.5.3-TIV-TAP-FP004 file.
  6. Extract the file and run one of following patch executable files: fixpack_tririga_v3.5.3.4_Windows.exe, fixpack_tririga_v3.5.3.4_Linux.bin, or fixpack_tririga_v3.5.3.4_AIX.bin.
  7. In the Introduction pane, select Next.
  8. In the license agreement, accept the terms and select Next.
  9. Choose the directory where IBM TRIRIGA is installed. For example, the following directories: c:\ibm\tririga\ or /opt/ibm/tririga/.
  10. Review the information and select Next.
  11. The fix pack process patches the WAR file, runs any platform database fix pack scripts, and redeploys the WAR file in Liberty.
  12. For Oracle WebLogic Server, delete all of the cache, tmp, and .wlnotdelete directories that might contain files that are left over from the previous application/ear installation. For example:

    C:\oracle\weblogic10\user_projects\domains\tririga10domain\servers\tririgaServer\tmp

    C:\oracle\weblogic10\user_projects\domains\tririga10domain\servers\tririgaServer\cache

    or

    /opt/oracle/weblogic10/user_projects/domains/tririga10domain/servers/tririgaServer/cache

    /opt/oracle/weblogic10/user_projects/domains/tririga10domain/servers/tririgaServer/tmp

  13. For Oracle WebLogic Server, the fix pack process attempts to redeploy the WAR file into the managed server. However, because of conditions in the server environment outside of IBM TRIRIGA's control, you might need to manually redeploy the WAR file. Restart the application server when the fix pack completes, and check the build number in the IBM TRIRIGA Administrator Console. If the old .war file still shows, redeploy the .war file. Refer to Oracle's instructions for deploying a .war application into the managed server.
  14. For WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core profile, the WAR file deploys and the cache directories are automatically removed. This is required to restart Liberty.
  15. For WebSphere Application Server, the WAR file redeploys and starts automatically. If it fails, you can try to manually redeploy. The WAR file is located in one of the following root TRIRIGA install directories: c:\ibm\tririga\ibm-tririga.war or /opt/ibm/tririga/ibm-tririga.war
  16. For Oracle WebLogic Server, the fix pack process attempts to restart the managed server. You might need to manually restart the application server.

Resolved issues

The following issues were resolved in the TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3.4 fix pack.

APAR Number Description
IJ00305 and IJ01316 Query sections no longer render under-width or not at all when forms are displayed in a portal section. (Tri-52075, Tri-51917)
IJ00974 When a user enters an invalid value for an 'In' query filter or a 'Not In' query filter, the user now sees a message describing the correct input format instead of a MID error. (Tri-51916)
IJ02239 Query sections no longer render under-width. (Tri-52076)
IJ03350 An unsafe character ":" (colon) that was passed on the URL when you switched between form tabs that contained queries with runtime filters was replaced with an "_" (underscore). (Tri-51685)
IJ03596 The sum row in a form query section now displays without a vertical scroll bar when the section contains a small number of query results. (Tri-52120)
IJ04278 Apply Record or Apply Template no longer has an issue if the project's time zone makes the stored date fall on the previous or next day. The issue occurred when the tasks start dates were calculated when the record or template was applied. (Tri-51684)
IJ05343 The check for valid licenses was refactored to avoid causing a race condition where integrations received an "Insufficient License" message when the server had valid licenses. (Tri-52074)
IJ05074 When you use an incoming mail agent, email message bodies generated by certain mail clients are no longer added to the email record as an attachment. Also, the notes field in the email message now displays the message in HTML if it is available; otherwise, it displays the plain text version. (Tri-51915)
You can now configure TRIRIGA to use the geography and organization from the user's profile in addition to the user's geography and organization from the user's security groups to determine the user's geography and organization access. After connecting to the database as the TRIRIGA user, run and commit the following SQL statement to enable this functionality in the TRIRIGA Application Platform:

insert into ENVIRONMENT_PROPERTIES (ENVIRONMENT, PROPERTY, VALUE) VALUES('Security','GEO_ORG_SECURITY_MODEL','1')

(Tri-52077)
Column headers now display when a query is rendered in a portal section. (Tri-52207)
