4. Installation and configuration

Follow these steps to upgrade Struts in a cluster with Platform Symphony installed on Linux. For Windows, use the Linux steps as a reference and use the Windows commands and environment variables for patching.

Before installation

1. Log on to each management host in the cluster and download the struts-2.3.34-lib.zip package from the following location:

http://archive.apache.org/dist/struts/2.3.34/struts-2.3.34-lib.zip.

2. Stop the cluster management console service (WEBGUI):

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service stop WEBGUI

3. For recovery purposes, move the files corresponding to your host operating system to a backup directory.

> mkdir -p /tmp/guibackup/egogui

> mkdir -p /tmp/guibackup/perfgui

> mv $EGO_TOP/gui/$EGO_VERSION/lib/commons-digester-*.jar /tmp/guibackup/

Installation

On each management host, unzip the struts-2.3.34-lib.zip package and copy the files for your host operating system to your cluster directory.

After installation

1. On each management host, delete all subdirectories and files in the GUI work directory:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/work/*

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/workarea/*

NOTE: If you changed the default configuration for the WLP_OUTPUT_DIR environment variable and the APPEND_HOSTNAME_TO_WLP_OUTPUT_DIR parameter is set to true in the $EGO_CONFDIR/wlp.conf file, you must clean up the $WLP_OUTPUT_DIR/webgui_hostname/gui/workarea/ directory.

2. Clear your browser cache.

3. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and start the WEBGUI service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service start WEBGUI

5. Uninstallation

If required, follow these steps to uninstall the Struts upgrade in the IBM Spectrum Symphony 7.1.2 cluster:

1. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and stop the WEBGUI service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service stop WEBGUI

2. Delete all the .jar files that were introduced by this interim fix.

3. On each management host, restore your backup files:

> mv /tmp/guibackup/*.jar $EGO_TOP/gui/$EGO_VERSION/lib/

> mv /tmp/guibackup/perfgui/*.jar $EGO_TOP/wlp/usr/servers/gui/apps/perf/$EGO_VERSION/perfgui/WEB-INF/lib/

> mv /tmp/guibackup/egogui/*.jar $EGO_TOP/wlp/usr/servers/gui/apps/ego/$EGO_VERSION/platform/WEB-INF/lib/

4. On each management host, delete all subdirectories and files in the GUI work directory:

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/work/*

> rm -rf $EGO_TOP/gui/workarea/*

5. Clear your browser cache.

6. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and start the WEBGUI service:

> egosh user logon -u Admin -x Admin

> egosh service start WEBGUI
