Intelligent Decision Server 1.0.2 Web Open Client Service README

This document provides instructions for applying fix levels for Intelligent Decision Server (IDS) Web Open Client components.

Overview

All Web Open Client fixpacks of a particular type are cumulative; they contain every fix from previous levels as well as new ones. Each fixpack is a self-contained install. You can do a brand new install, or replace an existing installation.

If you have an existing installation and you have modified the sample HTML files (ids*.html) in the HTML directory or the REPORTS.TXT in the CGI-BIN directory, you should backup these files. They will be overwritten during the new installation. The REPORTS.DIS file and other HTML files will remain unchanged.

Should you have any problems applying a fixpack or if you have questions, please contact IBM Software Support at 1-800-992-4777.

Applying Fixpacks for OS/2 and Windows

Fixpacks for OS/2 and Windows components are contained in self-extracting ZIP files.

There is one self extracting file for each language used for installation. The last two letters of the file name indicate the language:

de = German, en = English, es = Spanish, fr = French, ja = Japanese, ko = Korean
For example, j37b3fr.exe is the French version of the j37b3 fix level.
  1. Download the desired ZIP files. Each one should be downloaded into a separate directory. For Windows fixpacks, these directory names should be eight characters or less.


  2. Extract the files in the ZIP file by typing its filename. For example, type j27b3en. For OS/2, the files will be extracted into the current directory. For Windows, a directory named disk1 is created in your current directory.


  3. For OS/2, type install at the command prompt. For Windows NT, go to the disk1 directory and type setup at the command prompt.

Applying Fixpacks for UNIX

Fixpacks for UNIX components are contained in TAR files. These files are supplied along with an INSTALL script. The UNIX based Web Open Client installation is available in English only.
  1. Download all files for a given fix level to a temporary directory.


  2. Type install at the command prompt.

Available fix levels

Each fix level is located in a directory with the same name as the fix level. Within each directory, the FIXES.TXT file lists the problems that are fixed in that level.
