To execute CMFIX, you can select the Software Update icon in the Problem Determination folder, or you can run CMFIX from an OS/2 command line. CMFIX applies software updates (APARs or PTFs) to a target workstation and/or a code server. A code server is a locally or LAN-accessible server that contains a directory of the installable Communications Server image. We will discuss the two installation methods, "Using CMFIX to Update a Code Server" and "Using CMFIX to Update a Single Target Workstation," later in this section. CMFIX also creates a file called CM2APAR.LOG on the machine that executes CMFIX. This file contains CMFIX messages. RUNNING CMFIX FROM THE COMMAND LINE When running CMFIX from an OS/2 command prompt, use the following syntax: Syntax >>--þ--.-------.--.------.--CMFIX-----------------------> '-drive-' '-path-' >--.----------------------.--.----.--.---.------------->< -/A--location--.----.- '-/Q-' '-?-' '-/B-' -/D------------------- '-/U-------------------' Note: Running CMFIX from the command line will not update a code server. Parameters drive The drive where the CMFIX.EXE file resides. Specify a drive if it is not the drive you are currently using. path The path where the CMFIX.EXE file resides. Use this parameter if the file is not in the path you are currently using. /A location Applies an update from the local or LAN-attached drive location. This drive must be directly accessible from your workstation. When you specify the location of the update, use the form "d:\path". /B Creates a backup of the changed files. /D Deletes a previously created backup. /U Uses a previously created backup to remove an applied update. /Q Suppresses all messages. A progress indicator is displayed requiring no operator intervention. ? Displays syntax information describing the available options. Remarks Refer to the online help for detailed information about each feature. Examples To display a panel where you can specify the location of an update and choose whether to install or remove an update, use the following statement: CMFIX To install a software update located on m:\updates, use the following statement: CMFIX /A m:\updates To view the syntax for CMFIX, use the following statement: CMFIX ? USING CMFIX TO UPDATE A CODE SERVER This is the recommended method to apply APAR fix packages to Communications Server V6.1. By following these instructions, you will have a new, updated version of Communications Server V6.1 in a "code server" directory. You can then use the code server directory when installing new workstations. 1. CREATE A CODE SERVER DIRECTORY. A code server is a locally or LAN-accessible server that contains a directory of the installable Communications Server image. To create a code server, if you have not already done so, follow these steps: a. Create a code server directory, such as COMMSVR\CODE. b. Use XCOPY to copy all the files from the \SERVER directory on the Communications Server CD-ROM to the code server directory you created in Step 1a. For example, change directories to \SERVER on the Communications Server CD-ROM and type: XCOPY *.* Q:\COMMSVR\CODE /s to copy the files. 2. EXECUTE CMFIX TO UPDATE THE CODE SERVER DIRECTORY. a. Execute CMFIX by selecting the Software Update icon in the Problem Determination folder, or running CMFIX from an OS/2 command line. b. Select the "Apply to Code Server" checkbox. c. For "Software Update Source," choose either "Local" or "Internet." "Local" means the APAR fix package is on an attached drive, and "Internet" means the package is on the IBM Internet site. d. Select the "Find" pushbutton, select the APAR fix package location, and highlight the BUNDLE.LST file. Select "OK." Then, select "OK" from the "Software Update" window. You will be prompted for the location of your code server directory. e. Close the "Software Update" window. f. Check the file cm2apar.log for any errors that may have occurred in the update process. This procedure is explained in the CMFIX online helps. Invoke CMFIX, select the Help button, and then select F2. 3. EXECUTE CMSETUP TO UPDATE COMMUNICATIONS SERVER WORKSTATIONS. a. On the Communications Server workstation that you want updated, execute CMSETUP from the code server directory. For example: Q:\COMMSVR\CODE\CMSETUP b. Follow the normal installation process until the "Refresh Product Files" window appears. Select the REINSTALL option to update your workstation with the fixes. USING CMFIX TO UPDATE A TARGET WORKSTATION Use this method if you would like to update a single Communications Server V6.1 workstation. If you add additional functions to your configuration, you will need to reapply any APAR fix packages, because CMSETUP will pull the new code from the directory where the install was executed. This will overlay any fixes previously applied. Only files that are older than the fixpack files being applied will be updated. If you use a code server, you do not need to reapply the fixes. Using the code server is the recommended method for updates. 1. EXECUTE CMFIX TO UPDATE THE WORKSTATION. a. Execute CMFIX by selecting the Software Update icon in the Problem Determination folder, or running CMFIX from an OS/2 command line. b. Select the "Apply" radio button; optionally, select the "Create Backup" checkbox. c. For "Software Update Source," choose either "Local" or "Internet." "Local" means the APAR fix package is on an attached drive(*), and "Internet" means the package is on the IBM Internet site. (*) the fix was downloaded manually from the IBM Internet site, rather than via CMFIX. d. Select the "Find" pushbutton, select the APAR fix package location, and highlight the BUNDLE.LST file. Select "OK." Then, select "OK" from the "Software Update" window. e. Close the "Software Update" window. f. Check the file cm2apar.log for any errors that may have occurred in the update process. This procedure is explained in the CMFIX online helps. Invoke CMFIX, select the Help button, and then select F2.
