IBM® InfoSphere® Master Data Management Collaboration Server - Advanced Catalog Management, Version 11.0.0, Test Fix 6 is now available. This test fix can be used with InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server V11.0.0 GA or V11.0.0 Fix Pack 1. It contains all the fixes and enhancements delivered in ACM 11.0.0 Fix Pack 1, and changes in all previous test fixes. This release notes document addresses installation and known problems.
Advanced Catalog Management for WebSphere Commerce is a InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server solution accelerator. A InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server solution implementation team can leverage the asset for implementing a retail solution for catalog management with customization and extensions quickly.
It is strongly recommended that you apply the test fix only to a test system. Test fixes do not undergo official IBM testing.
The following enhancements were delivered in ACM V11.0.0 Test Fix 6:
The following fixes were included in this test fix as a result of problems that were reported by users.
The following fix was included in this test fix as a result of a problem that was discovered by the development team. If you want to learn more the fix, you can use the internal defect number for reference when speaking to someone from IBM Software Support:
Before you install this test fix, you must have installed InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server, Version 11.0.0. In particular, make sure that you have applied all configuration changes. For example, any schema changes and common.properties updates as documented in the Requirements section of those release notes.
Step 1. Preparing to install the test fix
$TOP/bin/go/svc_control.sh --action=stop --svc_name=scheduler
$TOP/bin/go/svc_control.sh --action=short_status--svc_name=workflowengine
If no events are running, shut down the workflow engine manually by running the following shell script:
$TOP/bin/go/svc_control.sh --action=stop --svc_name=workflowengine
abort_local.sh This script is located in the $TOP/bin/go directory. Running the abort_local.sh shell script does not affect any of the other JVM services.
You should have separated the code of your custom implementation from the code shipped in Advanced Catalog Management. The installation will overwrite your current files with updated versions from the test fix. In particular, you must back up your ACM source code and any other artifacts that you have customized. If you have made changes in the code shipped in Advanced Catalog Management, you will need to manually merge your changes back. Until you separate your own code from the shipped ACM code, you will need to keep restoring your code every time you apply an ACM patch.
Step 2. Installing the test fix
See Installing and configuring Advanced Catalog Management for InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server in the information center for detailed information to enable you to install and configure Advanced Catalog Management.
Step 3. Restarting the InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server instance
The shell script, start_local.sh, located in the $TOP/bin/go directory, starts all the services that you need to run InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server.
start_local.sh The svc_control.sh script supports starting multiple services from the same command:
svc_control.sh --action=start --svc_name=<service name>[--svc_name=<service name>] svc_control.sh --action=start --svc_name=appsvr --svc_name=admin --svc_name=scheduler This process should only take approximately 30-40 seconds, depending on the speed of your CPU processor.
This script is located in the $TOP/bin/go directory.
Known problems are documented in the Support knowledge base at http://www-947.ibm.com/support/entry/portal/overview/software/information_management/infosphere_master_data_management_collaboration_server. As problems are discovered and resolved, the IBM Support team updates the knowledge base. By searching the knowledge base, you can quickly find workarounds or solutions to problems.
You can search for and display a list of all published technotes for InfoSphere MDM Collaboration Server. For information about how to search all published technotes, see Searching knowledge bases
You can search for keywords within this complete list of technotes.
Before contacting IBM Support, your company must have an active IBM software maintenance contract, and you must be authorized to submit problems to IBM. For information about the types of maintenance contracts available, see "Enhanced Support" in the Software Support Handbook at: techsupport.services.ibm.com/guides/services.html
If the problem you submit is for a software defect or for missing or inaccurate documentation, IBM Support creates an Authorized Program Analysis Report (APAR). The APAR describes the problem in detail. Whenever possible, IBM Software IBM Support provides a workaround that you can implement until the APAR is resolved and a fix is delivered. IBM publishes resolved APARs on the IBM Support web site daily, so that other users who experience the same problem can benefit from the same resolution.
