To apply this CSD: ENSURE ALL MQSERIES PROCESSES ARE ENDED! Use ps -ef to verify this. The CSD consists of 26 related PTFs: U462273, U462305, U462306, U462307, U462308, U462309, U462310, U462311, U462312, U462313, U462314, U463363, U463365, U463366, U463367, U463368, U463369, U463394, U463395, U463396, U463397, U463398, U463399, U463400, U464332, U464358. This set of PTFs forms a complete replacement for any previous CSD that you have applied to your MQSeries for AIX V5.0 installation. ______________________________________________________________________ In addition there is an efix available for APAR IY05586 - CCSID 932 DOESN'T WORK ON CSD#06 - LOCALE INITIALIZATION ERROR as IY05586.V50.AIX.CSD06.tar.Z on this web page. ______________________________________________________________________ These PTFs (U462273, U462305, U462306, U462307, U462308, U462309, U462310, U462311, U462312, U462313, U462314, U463363, U463365, U463366, U463367, U463368, U463369, U463394, U463395, U463396, U463397, U463398, U463399, U463400, U464332, and U464358) contain updates to the following components of MQSeries for AIX: U462273 mqm.server.rte MQSeries server support for client connections U462305 mqm.base.runtime MQSeries Runtime support for external applications U462306 mqm.dce.server MQSeries support for DCE in server U462307 mqm.base.samples MQSeries sample application programs U462308 mqm.server.mqlink MQSeries link to Lotus Notes U462309 mqm.client.rte MQSeries client for AIX and client for Java U462310 mqm.msg.ja_JP MQSeries Messages - Japanese U462311 mqm.msg.Ja_JP MQSeries Messages - Japanese IBM-850 U462312 mqm.java.client MQSeries Client for Java - Runtime U462313 mqm.dce.samples MQSeries support for DCE in Samples U462314 mqm.base.sdk MQSeries Base Kit for Client and Server U463363 mqm.msg.en_US MQSeries Messages - English U463365 mqm.msg.de_DE MQSeries Messages - German U463366 mqm.msg.De_DE MQSeries Messages - German IBM-850 U463367 mqm.msg.es_ES MQSeries Messages - Spanish U463368 mqm.msg.Es_ES MQSeries Messages - Spanish IBM-850 U463369 mqm.msg.fr_FR MQSeries Messages - French U463394 mqm.msg.Fr_FR MQSeries Messages - French IBM-850 U463395 mqm.msg.it_IT MQSeries Messages - Italian U463396 mqm.msg.It_IT MQSeries Messages - Italian IBM-850 U463397 mqm.msg.ko_KR MQSeries Messages - Korean U463398 mqm.msg.pt_BR MQSeries Messages - Portguese-Brazilian U463399 mqm.msg.zh_CN MQSeries Messages - Simplified Chinese U463400 mqm.msg.zh_TW MQSeries Messages - Traditional Chinese U464332 mqm.java.bindings MQSeries Bindings for Java - Runtime U464358 mqm.java.share MQSeries Base for Java Each of these PTFs supersedes any previous PTF for earlier CSDs for the same component to which it is applicable (for example, PTF U462273 supersedes PTF U461602). If you have installed one or more of the above components on your system then you will require the corresponding PTF for each of the components that you have installed on your system. You do not need a PTF from the above list if you have not installed the corresponding component, but you will not be able to install the CSD if you try to do so without one of the PTFs corresponding to a component that you have previously installed on your system. The PTFs have been processed by the tar program and then compressed. To prepare for installation: 1) download the file U462273.tar.Z to your local drive in binary format 2) uncompress the file: uncompress U462273.tar.Z 3) run the tar program against the uncompressed file: tar -xvf U462273.tar 4) this will create the 26 separate PTFs in this CSD and you should select and install the subset of those PTFs that you need for your installation. Applying Maintenance to MQSeries for AIX V5.0 --------------------------------------------- +--- PRECAUTIONS -------------------------------------------------+ | | | Do not have any queue managers operating during installation | | of maintenance on MQSeries for AIX V5.0. | | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------+ PTF INSTALLATION INSTALLING A PTF USING SMIT --------------------------- Installing a PTF: 1. Log in as root (or use command su) 2. Select the device appropriate for your installation using using this sequence of windows: a. If you are using AIX V4.1.x: Software Installation and Maintenance Install and Update Software Install/Update Selectable Software (Custom Install) Install/Update From All Available Software b. If you are using AIX V4.2 or later: Software Installation and Maintenance Install and Update Software Install/Update From All Available Software Alternatively, enter the fastpath command: smitty install_update 3. Type or select a value for the entry field: INPUT device / directory for software Use PF4 to display a list of valid values: /dev/fd0 (Diskette Drive) /usr/sys/inst.images (Install Directory) /dev/rmt0.1 (Tape Drive) /dev/cd0 (CD-ROM Drive) 4. Complete the following fields: SOFTWARE to install Enter ALL to install all applicable fileset updates to your installation. Note: Although there is an option to apply only selected fileset updates for MQSeries for AIX, this still results in all applicable fileset updates for the PTF being applied. 5. This will apply the PTF, and save a backup copy of the current level of MQSeries for AIX V5.0. If at a later time, you want the chance to choose to commit the PTF updates, or reject the PTF updates and return to the backup level, you MUST ensure that: o The 'COMMIT software updates' value is set to 'no'. o The 'SAVE replaced files' value is set to 'yes'. Press Enter to display a confirmation message, prior to starting the update. The command will run, display progress messages, and should complete without problems. These progress messages terminate with an Installp Summary table, confirming which components of MQSeries for AIX V5.0 have been updated. If the command does not complete successfully, then a full error log is saved in the file smit.log in your HOME directory. 6. The same process applies to MQI client installations. Refer to the MQSeries Clients manual for more information about client installation. RESTORING THE PREVIOUS SERVICE LEVEL When, after installing a PTF, any component of MQSeries for AIX V5.0 is in APPLIED state, the PTF can be backed-out and these selectable components can be restored to the previous service/install level. To back-out a PTF: 1. Log in as root (or use command su) 2. To display the appropriate SMIT panel, enter: a. If you are using AIX V4.1.x: smit Software Installation and Maintenance Maintain Installed Software Reject Applied Software Updates (Use Previous Version) b. If you are using AIX V4.2 or later: smit Software Installation and Maintenance Software Maintenance and Utilities Reject Applied Software Updates (Use Previous Version) Alternatively, enter fastpath command: smitty install_reject 3. Complete the following fields: SOFTWARE name Enter MQM to restore all applicable fileset updates to your installation. Note: Although there is an option to restore only selected fileset updates for MQSeries for AIX, this still results in all applicable fileset updates for the PTF being restored. 4. You are recommended to use the displayed default values for all other fields. This will reject the current PTF level and reinstate the previous service or install level. Press ENTER to display a confirmation message, prior to starting the reject. The command will run, display progress messages, and should complete successfully. These progress messages terminate with an Installp Summary table, confirming which components of MQSeries for AIX V5.0 have been rejected.
