INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- A) Applying Maintenance -------------------- Maintenance updates can be supplied on CD-ROM, or they can be downloaded from the World Wide Web. ** Precaution ************************************************** * * * Do not have queue managers running while you are applying * * or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for Windows. * * * * Do not have channel listeners running while you are * * applying or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for * * Windows. * * * * You must also stop the IBM MQSeries Service (via the * * 'Services' window) before applying or removing maintenance. * * * **************************************************************** This PTF requires approximately 5MB of disk space to save the previous level. This allows a PTF to be removed, and the previous level automatically restored. This PTF also requires approximately 35MB of disk space if you choose to copy the CD-ROM to disk, but this is not needed as part of the service process. You can apply the PTF direct from the CD-ROM drive. Each of these CSDs comprises 10 directories, one directory per language supported by this product. If you need to apply maintenance updates to your MQSeries product: 1. Ensure you are logged on as an Administrator 2. Ensure that all Queue Managers are stopped. 3. Ensure that all Channel Listeners are stopped. 4. Ensure that the IBM MQSeries Service has been stopped. 5. If you are installing after downloading the CSD from the World Wide Web then you will have one executable file to run from wherever you downloaded it to. When you run this executable file, you will be presented with a dialog screen on which you can choose to use the default temporary directory or specify your own temporary directory into which you want to unload the executable file. Change the default directory if required and then select the "Next>" button. After the file has been unloaded into the temporary directory, select the "Finish" button to terminate the dialog. The SETUP.EXE file will be run at this time. If you are installing from CD then insert the MQSeries for Windows maintenance CD into the appropriate drive, and review the memo.ptf file on the appropriate directory for your language. Note: If you have your CD-ROM "autorun" option switched off, or you want to run the installation manually then you should browse the CD-ROM (for example, using Windows Explorer on Windows 95) and double click on the appropriate language directory SETUP.EXE file when the above instructions state that the SETUP.EXE file will be run. Now follow the remaining installation instructions in this PTF memo. 6. You will be presented with the "Welcome" dialog. Select the "Next>" button. 7. When prompted with the prompt "Do you wish to backup the current version of the product?", it is recommended that you reply "Yes". 8. Select the backup directory (it is recommended that you leave the default directory), and then select the "Next>" button. 9. From the "Copy Files" dialog, verify that the information displayed matches the user's requested choices, and then select the "Next>" button to proceed. 10. Select the "Finish" button to complete the installation of the CSD. B) Restoring the Previous Backup Version ------------------------------------- If you need to restore from backup, to the previous level of maintenance: 1. Ensure you are logged on as an Administrator 2. Ensure that all Queue Managers are stopped. 3. Ensure that all Channel Listeners are stopped. 4. Ensure that the IBM MQSeries Service has been stopped. 5. Select Start, Programs, MQSeries for Windows from the task bar. 6. Click on "Remove CSD #" entry.
