Timeouts
If your system has a security policy in place such that a session is disconnected
after a lengthy period of apparent inactivity, you should disable it during
this upgrade. There is the possibility that an upgrade can take a while to run.
Since no user input is required during the most of the upgrade, this can make
the upgrade session appear idle. If timeouts are not disabled, the upgrade
terminal could be disconnected during the upgrade.
· Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO 8.0.7.1 or later[1]
· Java SDK 1.5.0_17
· Oracle 10g 10.2.0.4

This interim fix is installed via the wminstall command, which is run from the installation CD.
Note: By default, during a product upgrade, wminstall performs the ps-mgr stop all command, which allows all currently running reports, maintenance jobs, loader jobs to complete before shutting down. To shorten the amount of time that the Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO server is down for an upgrade, you can specify for wminstall to perform the ps-mgr halt command instead, which forces the middleware to shut down immediately, and causes any currently-running reports, maintenance jobs, and loader jobs to fail. In this case, the user is responsible for ensuring the correct termination of processes and the release of shared resources.
To request that only a “halt” is performed, move the spec.xml file to a local directory and change the following statement in the spec.xml file, which is currently set to “stop all”:
<PRE_INSTALL language="java">middleware_down_up -e</PRE_INSTALL>
to the following:
<PRE_INSTALL language="java">middleware_down_up -h</PRE_INSTALL>
In either case, the upgrade process automatically restarts the product.
Version 4.0.5-GA of JBoss is a prerequisite for Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO. You must download the JBoss installation zip file (but do not extract the files). You need to know the directory name where the JBoss zip file is located.
If the Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO Instance is accessed via prospect web disable access to its remote datasource in Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO Web using the Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO Web Admin Tool.
The upgrade may abort due to database activity, i.e., open Oracle sessions other than the upgrade session. This is normal intended behaviour and will leave the system in a consistent pre-upgrade state. Partition Maintenance jobs will give rise to this. Stopping Database Activity to Enable Upgrade describes how to deal with Database Activity prior to an upgrade.
1. Log on as user flexpm
2. More your .profile and cut and paste the following line
[flexpm] $ FLEXPM_HOME=`pwd` PORT_GROUP='' DB_CONNECT='' . ./.profile
3. Create a temporary directory under $FLEXPM_HOME and copy the server tarball to this location
[flexpm] $ mkdir $FLEXPM_HOME/tmp
[flexpm] $ cp 8.0.7-PROSPECTMOTODIRECT-IF0002-server.tar.gz $FLEXPM_HOME/tmp
[flexpm] $ cd $FLEXPM_HOME/tmp
4. Untar the server tarball
[flexpm] $ gunzip 8.0.7-PROSPECTMOTODIRECT-IF0002-server.tar.gz
[flexpm] $ gtar -xvpf 8.0.7-PROSPECTMOTODIRECT-IF0002-server.tar
5. Run the upgrade command
[flexpm] $ ./wminstall -j <JBOSS_ZIP_DIR>
Note: It is strongly recommended to run the previous command with the –preview option before performing installation to identify potential problems.
[flexpm] $ ./wminstall -j <JBOSS_ZIP_DIR> -preview
The installation of the upgrade might take a while to complete, the log file (with filename like <YYYY>__<MM>__<DD>__<HH>__<MM>__<SS>) under /tmp or /var/tmp can be viewed from another console during the installation for the installation progress.
Note: When upgrading Prospect® for
Motorola CDMA/EVDO, the
installation will use the spec.xml file in the same
directory as wminstall. Specify the option -spec
spec.xml if you changed it (for example to halt only Prospect server before
performing installation)
Note: It is also possible to fully automate the upgrade using the -r <responseFile.txt> option. Please see Appendix A of the Installation Guide for further details on the use of this file.
6. Examine the Logs
After wminstall has completed, please examine the detail.log under the directory of $FLEXPM_HOME/audit/< YYYY>_<MM>_<DD>_<HH>_<MM>_<SS>_<PID> for any error messages.
Log out and log back in as user flexpm.
Verify that the middleware started:
[flexpm] $ ps-mgr watch
If you disabled access to the Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO server from Prospect® Web, then use the admin tool to re-enable access to the corresponding data source in Prospect® Web.
1. Copy 8.0.7-PROSPECT-IF0002-client.zip on your Windows system in a temporary directory.
2. Unzip 8.0.7-PROSPECT-IF0002-client.zip.
3. Go to the directory where you unzipped the file and run setup.exe
The installer creates the necessary system and application files, updates the system’s registry, and adds entries to Windows START menu.
To uninstall the Prospect client, use the ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS component of the Windows Control Panel.

This release contains the following documentation addendums which will be added to the Prospect® for Motorola CDMA/EVDO documentation.
This new function protects the results of the formula over the network elements involved in a calculation but will not protect these results over time in the way that the Prospect Web protect function does.
Note that
in classic reporting elemprotect behaves exactly as classic protect function
does.
The following token may be added to the Additional Text field of a Soft Alarm Template and will be rendered in the Additional Text portion of the soft alarm when generated:

The upgrade asserts that there are no other active Oracle sessions for the instance being upgraded.
Scenarios that may give rise to this include the following,
This appendix describes how to deal with each of these scenarios.
Partition maintenance jobs may cause the upgrade to abort, this is normal. Upgrade may be postponed until partition maintenance is completed or partition maintenance may be stopped and prevented from restarting using the following procedure.
Note that this procedure may also stop partition maintenance session on other instances on a multi instance installation.
1. Log on as user flexpm
2. Using the system administrator password, connect to sqlplus as the sysdba user
[flexpm] $ sqlplus sys/<SYSPASSWD> as sysdba
3. Run the following SQL,
-- Kill off part_maint
jobs before upgrade
DECLARE
BEGIN
FOR indx1 IN (SELECT job
FROM user_jobs
WHERE what LIKE '%part_maint.part_session%') LOOP
dbms_job.remove(indx1.job);
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
/
--
Remove any part_maint sessions that may still be
running for partition maintenance.
DECLARE lv_session_info VARCHAR2(100);
lv_sqlstr VARCHAR2(300);
BEGIN
FOR indx1 IN (SELECT sid,
serial#
FROM v$session
WHERE module LIKE 'Part%') LOOP
BEGIN
lv_session_info := '''' || indx1.sid || ',' || indx1.serial#
|| '''';
lv_sqlstr
:= 'ALTER
SYSTEM KILL SESSION ' || lv_session_info ||
'
IMMEDIATE';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE lv_sqlstr;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
NULL;
END;
END LOOP;
COMMIT;
END;
/
If there is extensive data loading ongoing in another instance that shares the same database host as the upgrade target instance it is possible that there will be Row exclusive table locks that will cause the upgrade to abort. This is normal behaviour for the upgrade process. The upgrade may be postponed until the data loading has completed or data loading may be suspended in the instances until the upgrade has completed.
To suspend data loading in other instances use the following procedure:
1. Log on as user flexpm
2. Suspend the sentry
[flexpm] $ ps-mgr suspend sn
3. Run ps-mgr watch and wait for all loaders to finish
[flexpm] $ ps-mgr watch
4. Proceed with the upgrade.
5. Resume data loading by resuming the sentry
[flexpm] $ ps-mgr resume sn
