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 PTF (U474385) supersedes all previous PTFs for MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2 (HP-UX Version 10) and it contains updates to the following components of MQSeries for HP-UX: MQM-RUNTIME MQSeries Runtime support for external applications MQM-SERVER MQSeries server support for client connections MQM-CL-HPUX MQSeries client for HP-UX To use the latest PTF file, perform the following steps: 1) download the file to directory /var/spool/sw in binary mode 2) uncompress U474385.tar.Z 3) tar -xvf U474385.tar >> Note: >> ===== >> >> This PTF has been refreshed on 6th June because the original >> packaging for the ftp site omitted the strmqm executable. >> >> If you installed the earlier version of this PTF then you >> can either remove the original PTF and reinstall the new PTF >> or alternatively you can download the additional executable >> from the file U474385.strmqm.tar.Z and install the >> library as follows: >> (1) Uncompress and tar the compressed tar file U474385.strmqm.tar.Z into a temporary directory (2) Do not have queue managers running while you are applying or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2. (3) Remove any existing MQSeries shared memory and/or semaphores before applying or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2. (4) Take a backup copy of the strmqm excutable on your system. (5) Copy over the new version of this executable to your system, into /opt/mqm/bin, after making a secure backup copy of the original executable. (6) Ensure that the owner and group of the executable is mqm/mqm using the command chown mqm:mqm .. (7) Ensure that the permissions of the executable is -r-xr-xr-x using the command chmod 555 .. (8) Restart the queue managers. Applying Maintenance for MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2 ------------------------------------------------ Now you will need to use swinstall to install the resulting output file, which is in the form: hp-U474385.v10 +--- PRECAUTIONS ---------------------------------------+ | | | Do not have any queue managers operating during | | installation of maintenance on MQSeries for HP-UX | | V5.2 (Version 10). | | | | Remove any existing MQSeries shared memory and/or | | semaphores before applying or removing maintenance | | updates to MQSeries for HP-UX V5.2 (Version 10). | | | +-------------------------------------------------------+ | | | 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 this PTF requires 13MB of disk space for installation. In addition, the installation process requires an additional 13MB of disk space to save the previous level. This allows a PTF 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 "U474385" issue the following command: swremove MQSERIES.U474385 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.
