7.1.3 Using the IBM Installation Manager to run the Upgrade
The first install attempt to run the IBM Installation Manager is shown below:
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 IM64]# cd /mnt/sda4/installs/BAW_21_0_3/IM64
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 IM64]# ./install
\00:02.49 ERROR [main] com.ibm.cic.agent.internal.ui.AgentUI reportStatus
Installation Manager 1.9.2.1 (internal version: 1.9.2001.20211222_1411) is already installed at location
“
/opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
“
and is using
“
/var/ibm/InstallationManager
“
for its data location.
Use the installed Installation Manager.
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 IM64]#
The downloaded version of the IBM Installation Manager has detected an existing version which we must use for the upgrade, located in the /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse directory.
So, we use the following commands:
cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
ulimit -n 8192
See pages 484 to 514 of the ResearchGate download, with the link, https://doi.org/10.13140/RG.2.2.27345.89440 – IBM BAW 18.0 Installation phase1 preprint with install of IBM Workflow Center 8.6.1.19002, for the complete screenshots showing the installation procedures which we outlined(we will just show the updated screen versions, where they differ from the 19.0.0.2 upgrade).
We can launch the IBM Installation Manager using the ./launcher program:
./launcher
- First, we install the Process Federation Server (PFS) Fix Pack system. Create a PFS subdirectory for the 21.0.3 version, under the /opt/IBM/Installs directory using the root user:
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 Installs]# cd /opt/IBM/Installs
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 Installs]# mkdir PFS21
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 Installs]# cd PFS21 - And then we copy the downloaded PFS base installation and fix packs as shown in Figure 7.23:
Figure 7.23: The IBM PFS base installation Fix Packs are copied to Linux
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS21]# cd /opt/IBM/Installs/PFS21
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS21]# cp /mnt/hgfs/Install_21_03/BAW_FixPacks_To_21.0.3/.zip . [root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS21]# cp /mnt/hgfs/Install_21_03/BAW_Base_System/Process.gz .
- Unpack the IBM PFS 21.0.3 tar.gz file:
tar -zxvf Process_Fed_21.0.3_Lnx64.tar.gz - Remove the unpacked gzip file to save space:
rm -rf Process_Fed_21.0.3_Lnx64.tar.gz - Run the installer and get the installation screen as shown in Figure 7.24.
./installPFS.sh
Figure 7.24: The IBM Installation Manager displays the versions to install

- Click Finish. Fix Packs are then added to the base.
- Unzip the workflow.2103.delta.repository.zip repository:
mkdir PFS_2103
cd PFS_2103
mv ../pfs.2103.delta.repository.zip .
unzip pfs.2103.delta.repository.zip
rm -rf *.zip
ulimit -n 8192 - Remove the unzipped file and load installation manager:
cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
./launcher
Select
File>Preferences - The Update icon is clicked in the IBM Installation Manager. Then select the unpacked Fix Pack repository.config file.
- Install Fix Pack workflow.21031.delta.repository.zip:
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS_2103]# cd ..
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS21]# mkdir PFS_21031
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS21]# cd PFS_21031
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS_21031]# cp /mnt/hgfs/Install_21_03/BAW_FixPacks_To_21.0.3/workflow.21031.delta.repository.zip .
unzip workflow.21031.delta.repository.zip
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS_21031]# rm workflow.21031.delta.repository.zip
rm: remove regular file

y
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS_21031]# - Remove the unzipped file and load installation manager:
cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
./launcher - Select File | Preferences and browse to the unpacked repository.config file as shown in Figure 7.30:

- In the /opt/IBM/Installs/PFS subdirectory:
[root@ECMUKDEMO8 PFS21]# cd /opt/IBM/Installs/PFS21
mkdir WF_2103
cd WF_2103 - Move the workflow.2103.delta.repository.zip file to the subdirectory:
mv ../workflow.2103.delta.repository.zip . - And then:
unzip workflow.2103.delta.repository.zip - Remove the zipped file after unpacking it to make space:
rm -rf workflow.2103.delta.repository.zip - Launch the IBM Installation Manager as for the first upgrade package:
cd /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse
ulimit -n 8192
./launcher - Next, we can open the new Application servers web ports:
firew
