How to download and install this Corrective Service PTF U200110 provides fixes for problems with the new clustering feature. In particular it provides fixes for APARs IC24222 and IC25493. This PTF also provides fixes for APARs IC24655 and IC25020. Unless you require immediate relief for the problems described by one or more of these APARs, it is recommended that you wait for PTF U200113 which should be available for download from the web before the end of 1999. PTF U200113 will also provide files for updating the Windows NT client and the Windows 95/Windows 98 client with this CSD. There are 10 files, one for each National Language version of IBM MQSeries for Windows NT V5.1 as follows, for updating the server and/or the Windows NT client if it was installed from the server CD-ROM: U200110A.exe - English language version U200110E.exe - Spanish language version U200110F.exe - French language version U200110G.exe - German language version U200110I.exe - Italian language version U200110J.exe - Japanese language version U200110K.exe - Korean language version U200110O.exe - Portuguese (Brazilian) language version U200110V.exe - Simplified Chinese language version U200110W.exe - Traditional Chinese language version There are no files with this CSD for updating the Windows NT client if it was installed from the client CD-ROM or if it was downloaded from the web. There is no separate maintenance for updating the Windows NT client with this CSD unless the client was installed as a component of the server product. There are no files with this CSD for updating the Windows 95/Windows 98 client if it was installed from the client CD-ROM or if it was downloaded from the web. There is no separate maintenance for updating the Windows 95/Windows 98 client with this CSD. Copy the file for your National language version and server/client installation into a temporary directory on your hard drive and execute this file. After installation of this CSD, there is a MEMO.PTF file that contains information relating to this PTF in both the mqm directory and the temporary directory. You are advised to read this file which contains: o installation instructions for applying maintenance o a summary of the current and superseded service levels o Special Information which may be mandatory for complete resolution of one or more of the APAR fixes shipped by this PTF. Note: ===== Contrary to what it says in this PTF memo, you cannot use this PTF to apply corrective service to the Windows NT Client (SupportPac MAC5) and the Windows 95 and Windows 98 Client (SupportPac MAC4). The SupportPacs MAC4 and MAC5 are at the latest available service level. This PTF is applicable to ALL releases of product 5639-B43-00, IBM MQSeries for Windows NT Version 5.1, namely the English version or any of the National Language versions. If after applying this PTF, you experience problems - please contact the IBM Support Center (ISC) or an authorized IBM Personal Computer dealer, whichever is applicable. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INFORMATION ---------------------------------------- A) Applying Maintenance -------------------- ** Precaution ************************************************** * * * Do not have queue managers running while you are applying * * or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for Windows NT. * * * * Do not have channel listeners running while you are * * applying or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for * * Windows NT. * * * * You must also stop the IBM MQSeries Service (via the * * 'Services' window) before applying or removing maintenance. * * * **************************************************************** The installation of this PTF requires approximately 20MB of disk space for all languages other than the Japanese language which requires 30MB of disk space to do the PTF installation and to save the previous level. Some of this disk space is used to keep copies of the previous levels of the parts updated by this PTF so that the PTF can be removed, and the previous level automatically restored. This PTF also requires approximately 140MB 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. The server CSD occupies 106MB, the Windows NT client CSD occupies 18MB and the Windows 95 and Windows 98 client CSD occupies 16MB giving a total of 140MB. 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. The installation process will automatically detect whether you have a server or client installation on your system, and it will call the appropriate SETUP.EXE file for your installation. If you are installing from CD then insert the MQSeries for Windows NT maintenance CD into the appropriate drive, and review the memo.ptf file on the root directory. 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 Explorer on Windows NT V4.0) and double click on the root directory level SETUP.EXE file at the point where 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. Select the backup directory (it is recommended that you leave the default directory), and then select the "Next>" button. 8. From the "Copy Files" dialog, verify that the information displayed matches the user's requested choices, and then select the "Next>" button to proceed. 9. Select the "Finish" button to complete the installation of the CSD. 10. Now restart the IBM MQSeries Service or reboot to start it automatically. B) Installing the CSD on Windows 2000 ---------------------------------- If you need to install the CSD on a Windows 2000 system then you must stop two additional processes after stopping the IBM MQSeries Services before installing the CSD. The two processes are: 1) amqsvc.exe 2) amqmsrvn.exe These processes must also be killed in the order shown above. First you must kill the process amqsvc.exe and then you must kill the process amqmsrvn.exe. You need to make sure that you do not have any of the IBM MQSeries programs running when attempting to install the CSD, for example, the MMC Explorer or Services snap-ins. C) Restoring the Previous Backup Version on Windows NT V4.0 -------------------------------------------------------- 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 IBM MQSeries from the Start Menu and then select 'Remove CSD'. 6. If any CSDs have been applied with rollback, the user is shown the history log and given the option to rollback the most recent CSD. Using the rollback option will return the installation to the state it was in before the CSD was applied. D) Querying the Service Level -------------------------- To query the service level on Windows NT Version 4.0, select "Start", and then select "Programs" and then select "IBM MQSeries for Windows NT", and finally select "MQSeries Service Level". This shows the memo.ptf file containing the service level and details of the maintenance applied (PTF number). This file is included in the root directory of the CD-ROM.
