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 * * and Windows 2000. * * * * Do not have channel listeners running while you are * * applying or removing maintenance updates to MQSeries for * * Windows NT and Windows 2000. * * * * 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 202MB 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 122MB, the Windows NT and Windows 2000 client CSD occupies 40MB and the Windows 95, 98 and ME client CSD occupies 40MB giving a total of 202MB. 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 and Windows 2000 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) 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 IBM MQSeries from the Start Menu and then select 'Remove Latest 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. C) Querying the Service Level -------------------------- To query the service level on IBM MQSeries for Windows NT and Windows 2000, select "Start", and then select "Programs" and then select "IBM MQSeries", 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.
