IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition PTF 001 - General Fixes

Installation instructions

This document describes how to install IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition PTF 001 - General Fixes. You should have already downloaded the zip file and unzipped it to a PTF001 folder on your machine.

The PTF has two parts, both of which must be installed to bring WebSphere Studio up to the 5.0.1level. One part is for the base product, Eclipse, and one part is for the tools and run-time environment of WebSphere Studio. The run-time environment is used in the test environment of WebSphere Studio. In these instructions, you will be told how to use Update Manager to install both parts. 

On Windows, using Update Manager, both parts will be installed automatically in two separate operations. Should you experience any error messages during the process, follow the instructions provided in the error message. Should the PTF for the run-time environment fail to be installed, an information message will tell you and you can install it afterwards in a manual set of steps documented here.  

On Linux, the procedure is similar but only the PTF for the base product and the tools is installed. The PTF for the run-time environment must be installed in a separate manual set of steps documented here.

Interim fixes address specific problems. Several interim fixes have been issued for the run-time environment. If you needed to manually install the PTF for the run-time environment, then you need to manually install the interim fixes too.  

The instructions to manually install the PTF for the run-time environment and install the interim fixes are repeated in the readme file, in case you install them at a later time. You will find the readme file in the base folder of the install path for the product.

Finally, instructions have been provided on how to apply the interim fixes to the standalone WebSphere Application Servers (WAS) where you would deploy your 5.0.1 applications to.

Note: There are known issues that may result in problems during or after installing the PTF. To ensure a proper installation:

To install the general fixes, the following tasks must be performed:

Step 1 : Install the base PTF

Step 2 : Install the PTF for the tools and run-time environment

Step 3 : Manually install the PTF for the run-time environment

Step 4 : Install the interim fixes

Step 5 : Update the standalone WAS servers


Note: All screen captures in this document are taken from a Windows installation. Screens will look slightly different on Linux.

Step 1: Install the base PTF

 

  1. Log on to your system with a userid that has write permission to the install location and start WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition 5.0. (This is typically a userid with Administrator authority on Windows, and root authority on Linux).
    Linux operating system Do not start with a workspace that a non-root user may later use. This can cause problems later since certain files may be written into the workspace during the update process that cannot be accessed by other users.
     
  2. If you have any running servers in the the test environment, stop them.

  3. Switch to the Install/Update perspective. Click . From the pop-up menu, select Other > Install/Update. Click OK. The Install/Update perspective opens.
     
  4. In the Feature Updates view, expand My Computer. Navigate to the PTF001 folder where you unzipped the PTF.  Expand UpdateManager, which is located inside it. You will use the highlighted files in the update folder.

  9. A final page confirms a successful installation. Click Finish. Close the command window.
     
  10. Verify that you updated the base run-time environment by following similar steps to those in the Verification section. However, select Test Environment when creating a new server instance, not EE Test Environment. You should see BASE 5.0.1 in the console. You should not see PME 5.0.1, as it is exclusive to the EE Test Environment.  
     

Windows operating system and XP operating system If you successfully completed step 2, and saw 5.0.1 in the console, then skip the following section and proceed to step 5, Update the standalone WAS servers. Otherwise, proceed to the next section, installing the interim fixes for the WAS Enterprise run-time environment.
Linux operating system Proceed to the next section.

Interim fixes for the WAS Enterprise run-time environment

These interim fixes are for the WAS Enterprise run-time environment. You select this run time when you choose EE Test Environment, not Test Environment, when configuring a server instance.

    WSinstalldir\Runtime Updates
    Select InterimFixes from the folders listed. Click Open (or OK on Linux). The path is entered in the eFix Directory field. It should be:
    WSinstalldir\Runtime Updates\InterimFixes
    Click Scan. All eFixes are listed. Select them all. There should be four. Click Next.
     
  7. The following page summarizes the installation, listing the eFixes, the product and the directory to be updated. Click Next.
     
  8. A final page confirms a successful installation. Click Finish. Close the command window. 
     
  9. Proceed to step 5, Update the standalone WAS servers.  

Note: Are you using the Rational ClearCase SCM Adapter? If so, the ClearCase SCM Adapter was also updated since the 5.0 release. Instructions to install the ClearCase update are found here. In those instructions, the ClearCase update will be found under IBM WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition Fixes when using Update Manager with Windows. For Linux, a manual installation is required and the file provided.

Step 5 : Update the standalone WAS servers

You will undoubtedly deploy applications built after you installed the PTF and updated WebSphere Studio Application Developer Integration Edition to the 5.0.1 level. Therefore, you will also need to add the interim fixes to the standalone WebSphere Application Servers (WAS). Adding the interim fixes to the standalone WAS servers is similar to the previous instructions, but you must first get the interim fixes from the WAS Support site.
