Download the Utilities7101.zip file into a temporary directory on the administrative system. For example, C:\temp 2. Go to the directory where your solutionInstallerGUI.bat file is located (for example, home dir\SMP\bin). 3. Double-click the solutionInstallerGUI.bat file in your drive folder. The IBM Tivoli® Base Services window opens. 4. Select a language for your installation and click "OK". 5. In the Process Solution Installer Introduction panel, click "Next". 6. From the Choose PSI Package panel, click "Choose", and go to the Utilities7101.zip file (for example, C:\temp\Utilities7101.zip), select it, click "Open", and click "Next". Once a package has been selected and opened, the process solution installer performs a series of validation checks to verify that the package that you selected is valid. The system is checked to ensure that the package has not already been deployed, or, if the package is intended as an upgrade. The system is also checked to ensure that the base package has already been installed. 7. From the Package Validation Results panel, review and verify the information that is displayed, and click "Next". 8. Select the "I accept the terms in the license agreement" option and click "Next". The Add Features screen opens. 9. If you installed your adapter on Oracle WebLogic Server, or if you have not used the Middleware installer, go to step 13. 10. On the Middleware Login Information panel, supply the credentials for which you are being prompted, and click "Next." The contents of this panel are constructed dynamically, and depend on the type of package that you are installing. Once you have supplied the requested user IDs and passwords, the process solution installation wizard validates the credentials by connecting to the middleware servers using the supplied credentials. 11. After the credentials have been verified, a package options panel opens and details the deployment options that the package supports. The "Defer Maximo Application Redeployment" and the "Defer the Update of the Maximo Database" check boxes are cleared by default. Accept these values by clicking "Next". The process solution installer performs a system check to ensure that all system requirements that are necessary for the package to be installed are present. Click "Next" to advance. 12. From the Pre-Install Summary panel, review and verify the displayed information, and click "Next". The process solution installer begins the installation process. You can view the progress on the screen. When the installation is complete, the Package Successfully Deployed panel opens. If the installation fails, a message displays the step that failed. Do not proceed to the next step until you have resolved the error and the package has been installed successfully. 13. From the Package Successfully Deployed panel, click "Next". 14. From the Install Another Package panel, leave the "Install Another Package" check box cleared and click “Done” to exit the wizard. 15. After you install the fix pack, and before your users begin to use the updated software, delete the Web browser cache on every computer that uses the product. -------------------------- 3) Redeploying the EAR files, if necessary Unless you specifically indicated otherwise during the installation process, EAR files are rebuilt automatically by the installation program.
