This is a fixpack for WebSphere Business Monitor Version 6.0.2.
Locate your backup maintenance directory

Fixes included in this fixpack
Locate your backup maintenance directory
If you do not already have a backup maintenance directory, complete the
following steps. If you have located
your backup maintenance directory, go to Installing the
fixpack
WebSphere Business Monitor currently does not use an update installer
to install interim fixes and other maintenance. Therefore, backups and a record of fixes must be maintained by
the user. We suggest the following steps
as an example. These steps will be
referred to when installing the interim fix but are listed here for reference.
1.
Create a backup
directory which is outside of the WebSphere library. For example, C:\WBM_maint
2.
When applying interim
fixes, create a folder or subdirectory with that interim fix name. For example, C:\WBM_maint\fixpack1
3.
Current WebSphere
Business Monitor files as listed in the README should be copied into the
directory to serve as a backup in the event the fixpack must be removed at a
later date. These backup files will be
used to restore your system to an earlier maintenance level. To avoid library errors, the file extensions
should be modified. For example,
monschemagenerator.jar should become monschemagenerator.jar.old
4.
An additional
informational file (fixpack1.txt) is included in this fixpack zip file. This informational
file should be stored in the backup directory for this fixpack along with any
other backed up files. This
informational file includes a list of APARs fixed and files replaced. For example,
C:\WBM_maint\fixpack1\fixpack1.txt
The following information describes how to apply this
fixpack to your WebSphere Business Monitor installation. Installation requires actions on WebSphere
Integration Developer and the Monitor Dashboard Client machines.
To install the fixpack, complete
the following steps:
- Download
the 6.0.2-WB-Monitor-Fixpack1.zip file.
- Extract the files from the downloaded
6.0.2-WB-Monitor-Fixpack1.zip file into a temporary directory. The
rest of these instructions assume that the files have been extracted to
C:\temp. (As an example)
- Create a new folder or subdirectory in
the backup maintenance directory.
For example, C:\WBM_maint\Fixpack1
- Move the newly extracted Fixpack1.txt
file into the directory. For
example, C:\WBM_maint\Fixpack1\Fixpack1.txt
To install the fixpack on
WebSphere Integration Developer, complete the following steps:
- Install
WebSphere Integration Developer iFix001, if it is not already installed or
superseded by another WebSphere Integration Developer fixpack that has
been installed.
- WID
6.0.2 iFix001 must be installed prior to installing this patch. WID 6.0.2
iFix001 is shipped with the WebSphere Business Manager product, however
the installation instructions in the WID 6.0.2 iFix001 are wrong. Please
use the following steps to correct the WID 6.0.2 iFix001 installation
instructions.
- The
external website for WebSphere Integration Developer contains the correct
instructions: http://www3.software.ibm.com/ibmdl/pub/software/websphere/studiotools/wid/install_instructions/602_interim_fix001/install_602_interim_fix001.html#4.0
- Download
the iFix001 per the instructions.
- You may install the iFix001 you
downloaded, or use the one shipped on the WebSphere Business Monitor
CDs. If you use the one the
WebSphere Business Monitor CDs, then open the zip file you downloaded and
follow the instructions in
wid\install_local_602_interim_fix001.html. The location of the
iFix in this case is the CD shipped with WebSphere Business Monitor
containing the iFix.
Below, let %WID_DIR% represent where WebSphere Integration Developer (WID)
v6.0.2 is installed.
- Terminate
WebSphere Integration Developer.
- Determine
where WebSphere Integration Developer is installed.
- Navigate
to Start>Programs>IBM WebSphere>Integration Developer
V6.0.2>WebSphere Integration Developer V6.0.2
- Right
mouse to get the context menu.
- Click
on Properties. The Target field
identifies the command to launch WID and therefore where WID is installed
(everything before “\wid.exe”)
- Cancel
the WID Properties dialog.
- Open
a Windows command window
CD %WID_DIR%\WBMonitor\mme\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.wbimonitor.xml.expression_6.0.2
- Move
the current monExpression.jar from this directory to your backup
directory, changing or modifying the extension. For example,
C:\WBM_maint\Fixpack1\monExpression.jar.old
- Move
the newly extracted monExpression.jar into the WebSphere Integration
Directory %WID_DIR%\WBMonitor\mme\eclipse\plugins\com.ibm.wbimonitor.xml.expression_6.0.2
(step 2 for installing the fixpack above, C:\temp\monExpression.jar)
- In
the command window, launch WID with the “-clean” option to cause it to
reload the plugins %WID_DIR%\wid.exe –clean. This will take several
minutes to complete (approximately 10 minutes)
Fixpack 1 is now installed into
WebSphere Integration Developer.
To verify the installation of the fixpack on WebSphere
Integration Developer, complete the following steps:
- Open
an existing Monitor Model or create a new Monitor Model.
- In
the monitor model, go to an existing trigger or create a new trigger.
- In
the Trigger Condition entry panel, press control space to get the content
assist, then expand Functions. The three new “adjust-*-timezone()” methods
should now be available. If you do not see these 3 functions
(adjust-date-to-timezone, adjust-dateTime-to-timezone, and
adjust-time-to-timezone), repeat the instructions and ensure you launched
WID with “-clean”. “-clean” is required
to enable these functions.
To install the fixpack on the
Monitor Dashboard Client, complete the following steps:
- Locate your WebSphere
Business Monitor Dashboard war file, dashboardjsr168.war. This may be located at C:\IBM\WebSphere\PortalServer\InstallableApps,
which is the installation level file, or you may already have applied
maintenance to this file and have backups in other C:\WBM_maint
directories.
- Move the current dashboardjsr168.war
from the library or maintenance directory to your backup directory,
changing or modifying the extension.
For example, C:\WBM-maint\Fixpack1\dashboardjsr168.war.old
- Start the Portal Server
on the WebSphere Business Monitor Dashboard Client machine.
- Bring up the Portal
Administration screen using your web browser. The URL is usually
http://<hostname>:9081/wps/portal.
- Click ‘login’ in the
upper right corner of the window.
- Type in your userid and
password to log into portal.
- Select ‘Administration’.
- In the left column,
select ‘Portlet Management’.
- Under ‘Portlet
Management’, select ‘Web Modules’.
- Find
‘dashboardjsr168.war’. Do this by entering ‘dashboard’ into the Search
text area. The type of search should be ‘File name starts with’. Click the
‘search’ button. The ‘dashboardjsr168.war’ file should appear in the
list.
- Beside the
‘dashboardjsr168.war’ file, click the update web module icon. Use the
hover-text to help with this.
- Browse to the newly
extracted “dashboardjsr168.war’ file (step 2 in the Monitor Server steps
above, C:\temp\dashboardjsr168.war).
- Click ‘Next’, and a list
of portlets found within the ‘dashboardjsr168.war’ file appears.
- Click ‘Finish’ and the
war file should be updated.
- Recycle the Portal
Server.
Fixpack 1 is now installed on the
Monitor Dashboard Client.
