Installing service on Linux and UNIX

Apply maintenance updates and program fixes to product components.

Before applying a maintenance update to WebSphere® Message Broker, download the update as described in Applying service to runtime components.
To install the updates that you have downloaded:
  1. Start of changeLog in to the system. On AIX, you must log in as root. On Linux® and on other UNIX® computers, your user ID must have root authority to complete installation. Follow your local security guidelines to acquire root authority; either log in as root, or log in as another user and become root.End of change
  2. Stop all components that are running on this computer by using the mqsistop command. Start of changeIf you are applying service on a computer that is running Linux on x86, close all instances of the workbench.

    Ensure that you do not have any WebSphere Message Broker files open.

    End of change
  3. Start of changeChange to the directory where you downloaded the fix pack file. The file name is in the form V.R.M-prod-platform-fixpack.tar.z, where V.R.M-prod represents the version, release, and modification level of the product, -platform identifies the platform, and -fixpack identifies the fix pack. For example, the file name 6.0.0-WS-MB-AIXPPC64-FP0006.tar.z identifies the file for Fix Pack 6 on Version 6.0.0 of WebSphere Message Broker on AIX®.End of change
  4. Replace the .z file with a .tar file, by entering the following command:
    uncompress -fv V.R.M-prod-platform-fixpack.tar.z
  5. Untar the image and extract all the directories, subdirectories, and files required to apply the update, by entering the following command:
    tar -xvf V.R.M-prod-platform-fixpack.tar
  6. Decide which interface you want to use for the installation; -graphical (the default option if none is specified), -console, or -silent. For further details of how you can run and installation, and other options that you can specify, see Modes of installation and uninstallation.
  7. Depending on the choice you have selected, run one of the commands described below, where installer is the appropriate installation program for your platform, listed in the table.
    • To start the installation wizard in graphical mode, type the installer name with no options at a command prompt, and press Enter. Include the absolute or relative path names if you invoke installation from a directory other than the one in which the wizard exists. When you invoke the installation wizard, it guides you through a series of panels where you can make choices about where to install the components, and which components you want to install.
    • To start the installation wizard in console mode, enter installer -console. Include the absolute or relative path names if you invoke installation from a directory other than the one in which the wizard exists. When you invoke the installation wizard, it prompts you to enter input for all options, including where to install the components, and which components you want to install.
    • To use the installation wizard silent interface, enter installer -silent.To start the installation wizard in silent mode, enter installer -silent. Include the absolute or relative path names if you invoke installation from a directory other than the one in which the wizard exists. If you want to specify non-default settings, include a response file on the invocation. For more details of how to do this, and how to create and edit a response file to define your requirements, see Using response files.

    The installer extracts the update files and runs according to the arguments supplied.
  8. Follow the instructions presented by the installation program and provide any input that is required to complete the installation.

    When installation has successfully completed, review the release notes that are supplied in the directory readmes, and complete any manual post-installation tasks that are required.

  9. Start of changeIf you have defined ODBC connections for brokers on this computer, check the sample odbc.ini files and make any required changes before you restart your brokers. For example, a change to database libraries might have been made. Apply these changes to your ini files, or copy the sample and recreate your ini files, making sure that you use the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit sample files.End of change
  10. Start of changeWhen you have completed any required ODBC changes, restart the components by using the mqsistart command.End of change
