Instructions for installing IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for UNIX FixPack.

Please note the following before beginning this procedure:

     Note 1:  The cdinstall script referenced below should be run by the userid 
              that owns the C:D UNIX installation directory.

     Note 2:  You will need root privileges to complete this procedure.

     Note 3:  The fixpack files are full installation files and can be used for 
              a new installation.  To do so, follow steps 2 and 3 below, and 
              then refer to the Installing Connect:Direct for UNIX chapter of 
              the Connect:Direct for UNIX Getting Started Guide for further 
              installation instructions.

     Note 4:  The cdinstall script incorporates backup/restore functionality. 
              If you select the UPGRADE option when cdinstall detects an 
              existing installation, you will be given a prompt to perform a 
              BACKUP of the existing installation.  We recommend choosing this 
              option.  If the upgrade fails for any reason, the cdinstall script 
              can be invoked and will detect the existence of the backup file 
              and give you the option to RESTORE the previous installation.

1. Shutdown Connect:Direct for UNIX.  This is important to assure all 
   replacement modules are installed correctly.


2. The fixpack installation archive file will need to be uncompressed.

   For example:

      uncompress 4.1.0.4-SterlingConnectDirectforUNIX-AIX-pSeries-fp0004.Z

   On some Linux systems, the uncompress command does not exist, but "gzip -d" 
   will work in its place. 

3. Extract the installation script from the fixpack installation file on all 
   systems except Linux with the following cpio command:

      cpio -civdmB < DEVICE cdinstall

   where DEVICE is the full path to the maintenance installation file.

   For example:

      cpio -civdmB < /cdent/cd4.1.0/4.1.0.4-SterlingConnectDirectforUNIX-AIX-pSeries-fp0004 cdinstall

   For Linux systems, use the following cpio command:

      cpio -ivdmB < DEVICE cdinstall

   Note:  C:D UNIX 4.1.0.4  and later includes  an automated installation 
          option.  To pursue this option, repeat the above step, replacing 
          cdinstall with cdinstall_a in the indicated commands.  Refer to the 
          Enterprise Deployment Guide in the C:D UNIX Documentation section of 
          the IBM Support Portal for further details on this option.  

4. To run the interactive upgrade or install procedure, execute the cdinstall 
   script:

      cdinstall

   This procedure will:

      a) Ask for your C:D UNIX installation directory with a prompt similar to 
         the following:

						Enter the FULL path of the Connect:Direct for UNIX 4.1.0.4 installation directory.
						You can use $HOME to shorten the name:[$HOME/cdunix]

         Respond with your fully qualified C:D UNIX installation directory, for 
         example:

            /opt/applications/cdunix

         You will be given the option to create a backup of the existing 
         Connect:Direct installation during the next prompts.

      b) When the procedure asks for the location of the maintenance 
         installation file with a prompt similar to the following:

						Specify the fully qualified name of the Connect:Direct for UNIX installation
						file (file name prefixed with the absolute path, e.g., /localhome/cdadmin/cdunix):

         Respond with the fully qualified directory and filename of the 
         maintenance installation file, for example:

            /cdent/cd4.1.0/4.1.0.4-SterlingConnectDirectforUNIX-AIX-pSeries-fp0004

         The procedure will then update the Connect:Direct installation, 
         including detected options, like C:D File Agent.

   When the procedure requests root privilege, then:

      a) If you know the root password, or have a system administrator standing 
         by who knows the root password, then answer 'yes' when the cdinstall 
         script prompts for actions that require the root password.

      b) If you don't have access to the root password, but can use 'sudu' or 
         some other utility consistent with your companies security policies to 
         acquire root privileges, then answer 'no' when the cdinstall script 
         prompts for actions that require the root password, and after the 
         cdinstall script is finished:

         1) acquire root privilege with sudo or another method that is 
            consistent with your company's security policies

         2) execute the following script:

               {the C:D UNIX installation directory}/etc/cdcust

            and select the option to "Set owner and permissions of C:D 
            executables" 


After installing maintenance, it may be necessary to recompile/relink API 
programs and user exits.  Please refer to the fixlist to see what has changed 
since you last applied maintenance, and whether a recompile/ relink is 
recommended.

Please contact IBM Sterling Customer Support if you have any questions or 
problems installing the maintenance.
