Description

Readme documentation for IBM Platform Application Center 9.1.4 Fix 337917 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix resolves the following issues:
- The Jobs page takes a long time to display when there are more than 100 user groups configured.
- When root squash is configured in the job data repository, the "Visualize" button is not displayed for HP-RGS jobs.
- When field dependency is used in an application template to show and hide a field, the submission form fails to display in Jobs>Data.

This fix includes the following enhancement:
- "pacclient.py submit" can be used to specify multiple input files when submitting a job. The format now supports a hash (#) to indicate multiple files:
   file_path,upload[#file_path,upload]
   file_path,copy[#file_path,copy]
   file_path,link[#file_path,link]

   For example:
   pacclient.py submit -a "FLUENT" -c C:\mydir\fluentconf.txt -p "CONSOLE_SUPPORT=yes;CAS_INPUT_FILE=C:\mydir\fluent\fluent-test.cas.gz,upload#C:\mydir\fluent\fluent-test.cas2.gz,upload"

5.1Before installation

           Stop all IBM Platform Application Center services:

            perfadmin stop all
            pmcadmin stop

5.2Installation steps

The following steps assume IBM Platform Application Center is installed in /opt/pac.
             Replace with your actual installation directory.

             1.    Determine the location of your existing IBM Application Center installation.
#rpm -q --queryformat "%{INSTPREFIXES}\n" pcc-appcenter

             2.    As root, log on to your IBM Platform Application Center 9.1.4 host. Back up the exiting installation directory. For example:
#cp -rfp /opt/pac /opt/pac.bak

             3.    Complete this step only if you are using a local MySQL database.
Export your local IBM Platform Application Center MySQL database by using the following command:
#mysqldump -u pacuser -p pac --add-drop-table > /root/pacdata.sql

             4.    Download the fix file: pac9.1.4_standard_linux-x64.tar.Z.

             5.    Extract  pac9.1.4_standard_linux-x64.tar.Z.

             6.    As root, log on to your IBM Platform Application Center 9.1.4 host.

             7.    Set your IBM Platform Application Center environment:
                    For csh or tcsh:
% source /opt/pac/cshrc.platform
                    For sh, ksh, or bash:
$ . /opt/pac/profile.platform


             8.    Install the fix.
rpm -Uvh --prefix ${PAC_TOP} --nopreun pcc-appcenter-9.1.4-337917.x86_64.rpm
Note: Replace ${PAC_TOP} with your actual installation directory.

5.3After installation

             1.    Start IBM Platform Application Center services

                        perfadmin start all
                        pmcadmin start

             2.    Merge ${PAC_TOP}/gui/conf/pmc.conf.old into ${PAC_TOP}/gui/conf/pmc.conf according to your old configuration.

             3.    Clear your browser cache before logging into IBM Platform Application Center.
                    This is required on every browser that will access IBM Platform Application Center.
                    Otherwise, IBM Platform Application Center will not work properly.

• Uninstallation

6.1 Before uninstallation

           Stop all IBM Platform Application Center services:

                perfadmin stop all
                pmcadmin stop

 6.2Roll back the fix

The following steps assume IBM Platform Application Center is installed in /opt/pac.
             Replace with your actual installation directory.

             1.    Determine the location of your existing IBM Application Center installation.
#rpm -q queryformat %{INSTPREFIXES}\n pcc-appcenter

             2.    Download the RPM package for a version previous to the Fix, for example, pcc-appcenter-9.1.4-123456.x86_64.rpm.

             3.    Set your IBM Platform Application Center environment:
                    For csh or tcsh:
% source /opt/pac/cshrc.platform
                    For sh, ksh, or bash:
$ . /opt/pac/profile.platform


             4.    Install the IBM Platform Application Center RPM package. For example:
#rpm -Uvh --prefix ${PAC_TOP} --oldpackage --nopreun --noscripts pcc-appcenter-9.1.4-123456.x86_64.rpm
Note: Replace ${PAC_TOP} with your actual installation directory.

             5.    If you have made any customizations, reapply your customizations from the backup directory.

             6.    Start IBM Platform Application Center services

                        perfadmin start all
                        pmcadmin start

             7.    Clear your browser cache before logging into IBM Platform Application Center.
                    This is required on every browser that will access IBM Platform Application Center.
                    Otherwise, IBM Platform Application Center will not work properly.
