Applying an interim fix to the WebSphere Commerce product silently

You can use the silent method to install an interim fix on the WebSphere Commerce product.

Before you begin

Important:
  • Ensure that you created the instance before you install any interim fixes to the product. If you install an interim fix to the product and then create an instance, you might encounter dependency issues when you install another interim fix in the future.
  • If you are installing an interim fix on top of a Feature Pack, ensure that features are enabled before you install the interim fix. For more information about features, see Enabling features.

Procedure

  1. For IBM i OS operating system Enter the QShell by typing QSH at the i5/OS command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the UPDI_installdir/responsefiles/ directory and open the install.txt file in a text editor.
  3. Edit the install.txt file, ensuring that the following sections are edited appropriately:
    • The -W maintenance.package contains the full path name for the interim fix. For example:
      • AIX-W maintenance.package="/usr/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/V70/UPDI/maintenance/APAR1.pak"
      • For IBM i OS operating system-W maintenance.package="/QIBM/ProdData/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/V70/UPDI/maintenance/APAR1.pak"
      • SolarisLinux-W maintenance.package="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/V70/UPDI/maintenance/APAR1.pak"
      • Windows-W maintenance.package="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateInstaller\V70\UPDI\maintenance\APAR1.pak"
    • The -W product.location contains the full path name of the WebSphere Commerce installation directory. For example:
      • AIX-W product.location="/usr/IBM/WebSphere/CommerceServer70"
      • For IBM i OS operating system-W product.location="/QIBM/ProdData/CommerceServer70"
      • SolarisLinux-W product.location="/opt/IBM/WebSphere/CommerceServer70"
      • Windows-W product.location="C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere\CommerceServer70"
    • Verify that the -W update.instancename and -W update.db entries do not exist or are commented out.
    • Save the file and exit.
      Note: f you have an WebSphere Commerce instance created, you must first update your WebSphere Commerce product. After you have update the product, you must re-edit the response file, and run the Update installer again.
  4. Run the following command from the UPDI_installdir:
    • SolarisLinuxAIX./update.sh -silent -options UPDI_installdir/responsefiles/install.txt
    • For IBM i OS operating systemupdate -options UPDI_installdir/responsefiles/install.txt
    • Windowsupdate.bat -silent -options UPDI_installdir/responsefiles/install.txt
  5. Refer to the log files in WC_installdir/logs/update/ to verify that your install was successful.
