This fix applies to IBM Platform Application Center versions 9.1.4 and 9.1.4.1, and resolves the following issues:
1. When user mapping is enabled with USER_MAP_SCRIPT in $GUI_CONFDIR/pmc.conf, users that have passwords that contain an ampersand character(&) are unable to log on to Platform Application Center.
2. When user mapping is enabled with USER_MAP_SCRIPT in $GUI_CONFDIR/pmc.conf, users that have a user name that contains a backslash character(\) are unable to log on to Platform Application Center.
3. When the LSF command bpost is used to send a status message to a job and the content exceeds 64 characters, the job record is not inserted into the Platform Application Center database.
4. In the Jobs tab, Jobs page, when a user selects the New button, not all published application templates are displayed in the drop-down list.
5. When there is not enough space in the /tmp directory, job submission fails when users upload files larger than 512 MB. This fix introduces the new parameter FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR in pmc.conf to allow you to define a temporary directory other than /tmp.
6. The build number displayed in "pmcadmin -V" is not the same as that displayed in "pacclient.py pacinfo".

Readme documentation for IBM Platform Application Center 9.1.4 and 9.1.4.1 Fix 364924 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.
This fix resolves the following issues:
- When user mapping is enabled with USER_MAP_SCRIPT in $GUI_CONFDIR/pmc.conf, users that have passwords that contain an ampersand character(&) are unable to log on to Platform Application Center.
- When user mapping is enabled with USER_MAP_SCRIPT in $GUI_CONFDIR/pmc.conf, users that have a user name that contains a backslash character(\) are unable to log on to Platform Application Center.
- When the LSF command bpost is used to send a status message to a job and the content exceeds 64 characters, the job record is not inserted into the Platform Application Center database. With this fix, the job record is inserted but the content is truncated at 64 characters.
- In the Jobs tab, Jobs page, when a user selects the New button, not all published application templates are displayed in the dropdown list.
- When there is not enough space in the /tmp directory, job submission fails when users upload files larger than 512 MB. This fix introduces the new parameter FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR in pmc.conf to allow you to define a temporary directory other than /tmp. Make sure the directory you specify has the same read/write permissions as the /tmp directory. The default value of FILE_UPLOAD_TEMP_DIR is /tmp.
- The build number displayed in "pmcadmin -V" is not the same as that displayed in "pacclient.py pacinfo".

  • 5.2  Installation steps

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

    • Installation steps for IBM Platform Application Center 9.1.4
      • Determine the location of your existing IBM Application Center installation.
        #rpm -q --queryformat "%{INSTPREFIXES}\n" pcc-appcenter
      • Back up the existing:
        #cp -rfp /opt/pac /opt/pac.bak
      • 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
      • Download the fix file: pac9.1.4.1_standard_linux-x64.tar.Z.
      • Extract pac9.1.4.1_standard_linux-x64.tar.Z.
      • As root, log on to your IBM Platform Application Center 9.1.4.1 host.
      • 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
      • Install the fix.
        rpm -Uvh --prefix ${PAC_TOP} --nopreun pcc-appcenter-9.1.4.1-364924.x86_64.rpm
        Note: Replace ${PAC_TOP} with your actual installation directory.
      • Upgrade steps

        If you have a local database your database is automatically updated for you. If you have a remote database, update your existing database schema from 9.1.4 to 9.1.4.1.

        • Connect to your database with your existing user name and password, then run the appropriate scripts according to the previous version of Platform Application Center that you have installed.
          To update your database schema from 9.1.4 to 9.1.4.1:
          mysql -u root -p $rootpassword
          mysql>use pac
