This APAR includes the following files:

IBMIT-ITA-1.6.1.0-IFPO05086-readme.html
- this document
IBMIT-ITA-1.6.1.0-IFPO05086.fxtag
- the fix tag associated with the APAR
PO05086/topology/vap_std/timestamp/vap_APAR_PO05086_LPInstaller.zip
- the installer for this APAR

You are strongly recommended to review the following steps and familiarise yourself with the files in question.

Prerequisites

IBM Intelligent Operations for Transportation 1.6.1.0 should be installed, with all the services running. This can be confirmed by executing the following commands on the analytics node:

su - ibmadmin

cd /opt/IBM/ISP/mgmt/scripts

./IOCControl -a status -c all -p iocTopologyPassword

Installation

As root user, transfer the file vap_APAR_PO05086_LPInstaller.zip to the /tmp directory on the analytics node, unzip it, open a terminal in the unzipped folder and execute the following commands to install the APAR:

chmod 777 *.*
sh install_APAR_PO05086.sh iocTopologyPassword streamsNodeName root streamsRootPassword streamsAdministratorUser

Install command usage:

sh install_APAR_PO05086.sh {IOCTP_PASSWD} {STREAMS_HOST} {STREAMS_ROOT} {STREAMS_RTPW} {STREAMS_ADMIN}


			{IOCTP_PASSWD} - The topology password of IBM Intelligent Operation Center
			{STREAMS_HOST} - The host name of Streams server
			{STREAMS_ROOT} - The name of Streams root user
			{STREAMS_RTPW} - The password of Streams root user
			{STREAMS_ADMIN} - The name of Streams administration user

Post-Installation

Post installation steps:

Optional cluster restart for all clusters
On the STREAMS node as streamsadmin user: stop the VAP streams instance
Alter the vap.cfg file found on the STREAMS node in: /opt/IBM/iss/intelligentTransportation/intelligentTransitAnalytics

As streamsadmin user set the "DB_HOST" value to the IP address of the database node
Save the file and start the VAP streams instance as usual

On the STREAMS node as streamsadmin user: launch the VAP streams job as usual

Note: the iit_vap_streams_wbm_kpi_transfer_EAR application runs in a partially started state - this is normal. If this application is not starting post install, perform a cluster restart for all clusters.

Uninstallation
