The corrective service files in this directory are of the form: U4xxxxx.tar.Z This means that they have been processed by the tar program and then compressed. The latest PTFs (U469693 and U471150) supersede all previous PTFs for MQSeries for HP-UX V5.1 (HP-UX Version 11) and they contain updates to the following components of MQSeries for HP-UX: A) PTF U469693 MQM-RUNTIME MQSeries Runtime support for external applications MQM-SERVER MQSeries server support for client connections MQM-CL-HPUX MQSeries client for HP-UX MQM-SAMPLES MQSeries sample application programs MQM-BASE MQSeries Base Kit for Client and Server MQM-MC-JABASE MQSeries Java Base MQM-MC-JABIND MQSeries Java Bindings MQM-MC-JACLNT MQSeries Java Client MQM-MC-CHINES MQSeries Messages - Simplified Chinese MQM-MC-CHINET MQSeries Messages - Traditional Chinese MQM-MC-FRENCH MQSeries Messages - French MQM-MC-GERMAN MQSeries Messages - German MQM-MC-ITALIAN MQSeries Messages - Italian MQM-MC-JAPAN MQSeries Messages - Japanese MQM-MC-KOREAN MQSeries Messages - Korean MQM-MC-PORT MQSeries Messages - Portuguese-Brazilian MQM-MC-SPANISH MQSeries Messages - Spanish B) PTF U471150 MQM-DCE MQSeries server support for DCE All installations require PTF U469693 but PTF U471150 is only required by installations that use DCE. To use the latest PTF file(s), perform the following steps: 1) download the file(s) to directory /var/spool/sw in binary mode 2) uncompress U469693.tar.Z 3) tar -xvf U469693.tar and if you use DCE 4) uncompress U471150.tar.Z 5) tar -xvf U471150.tar Applying Maintenance for MQSeries for HP-UX V5.1 ------------------------------------------------ Now you will need to use swinstall to install the resulting output files, which are in the form: hp-U469693.v11 hp-U471150.v11DCE +--- PRECAUTIONS ---------------------------------------+ | | | Do not have any queue managers operating during | | installation of maintenance on MQSeries for HP-UX | | V5.1 (Version 11). | | | | Remove any existing MQSeries shared memory and/or | | semaphores before applying or removing maintenance | | updates to MQSeries for HP-UX V5.1 (Version 11). | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ | | | To end all running queue managers: | | | | 1. End the queue manager by issuing the command: | | | | endmqm -i QMgrName | | | | 2. Check that the queue manager has ended. | | | | Use the command: | | | | endmqm -w QMgrName | | | | The message returning should show that the queue | | manager is not available. | | | | Alternatively, use the command: | | | | ps -ef | grep mq | | | | where | is the pipe symbol. Check that there are | | no processes listed that are running command | | lines commencing "amq" or "runmq". Ignore any | | that start with amqi. | | | | 3. Issue the IPCS -A command to identify any shared | | memory segments or semaphore sets that were | | created by MQSeries. Remove these using the | | IPCRM command. | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ SPACE REQUIREMENTS ------------------ The installation process for PTF U469693 requires 20MB of disk space for installation. In addition, the installation process requires an additional 20MB of disk space to save the previous level. The installation process for PTF U471150 requires 11MB of disk space for installation. In addition, the installation process requires an additional 11MB of disk space to save the previous level. This allows the PTF(s) to be removed, and the previous level to be automatically restored. If disk space is limited, the backup can be suppressed by creating an empty flag file called MQPTF_NOSAVE in the directory "/var/adm/sw/patch". Note that if this option is used, the previous level will not be restored if a PTF is removed. The only way to restore a previous level in this instance is to reinstall the product and then to reapply a previous PTF image. APPLYING THE MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ------------------------------------ To apply the maintenance information: 1. Log in as root, or use the command su. 2. Use the SWINSTALL command to install the patch from the supplied medium. Details of the SWINSTALL command can be found in the HP-UX Administration Guide or by using the MAN SWINSTALL command. 3. If you have installed an MQI client from your MQSeries for HP-UX installation, and if one or more of these client components have been modified by installing an update, then you MUST specifically update your MQI client installation. RESTORING THE PREVIOUS SERVICE LEVEL ------------------------------------ To restore the previous service level: 1. Log in as root, or use the command su. 2. Use the SWREMOVE command to remove the patch from the system. For example, to remove patch "U469693" issue the following command: swremove MQSERIES.U469693 Details of the SWREMOVE command can be found in the HP-UX Administration Guide or by using the MAN SWREMOVE command. 3. If you have installed an MQI client, and the client was updated after installing the PTF which is being removed, then you MUST specifically update your MQI client installation again, after the PTF has been removed.
