Procedure

  1. Download the DOCS_INSTALLPKG_FILENAME.zip file, for example, CNNCTNS_DOCS_2.0.0_WINLNX_ML.zip, from IBM Passport Advantage. Extract the contents to /opt/software.
  2. Depending on whether Installation Manager is 32 byte or 64 byte, do one of the following actions:
    • For the 32-byte Installation Manager:
      1. Copy /opt/software/upgrade/106/linux/32/com.ibm.docs.im.installer_1.0.6.20141106_1604.jar and /opt/software/upgrade/105/32/com.ibm.docs.im.installer_1.0.6.20141106_1604_SE.jar to /var/ibm/InstallationManager/installRegistry/metadata/Offerings.
        Note: A non-root user must copy the files to user home/var/ibm/InstallationManager/installRegistry/metadata/Offerings.
      2. Open /opt/software/upgrade/106/32/installed.xml and copy the "IBM Connections Docs" section to /var/ibm/InstallationManager/installed.xml.
      3. Open /opt/software/upgrade/106/32/installed.xml and copy the "IBM Connections Docs" section to /var/ibm/InstallationManager/installed.xml.
    • For the 64-byte Installation Manager:
      1. Copy /opt/software/upgrade/106/linux/64/com.ibm.docs.im.installer_1.0.6.20141105_2328.jar and /opt/software/upgrade/106/64/com.ibm.docs.im.installer_1.0.6.20141105_2328_SE.jar to /var/ibm/InstallationManager/installRegistry/metadata/Offerings.
        Note: A non-root user must copy the files to user home/var/ibm/InstallationManager/installRegistry/metadata/Offerings.
      2. Open /opt/software/upgrade/106/32/installed.xml and copy the "IBM Connections Docs" section to /var/ibm/InstallationManager/installed.xml.
      3. Open /opt/software/upgrade/106/64/installRegistry.xml and copy the "IBM Connections Docs" section to /var/ibm/InstallationManager/installRegistry.xml.
  3. Manage the properties files. For example, if the installation directory is /opt/IBM/ConnectionsDocs, use the following table to create each new directory and identify the 1.0.6 properties file to copy to it.
    Table 1. Sample new directories and 1.0.6 properties files to copy to them

    Table showing 1.0.7 directories to create and which 1.0.6 properties files to copy to them.
