This installation updates Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0.dll and Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64.dll only in the Global Assembly Cache. The file locations are:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\assembly\GAC_32\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0\v4.0_7.1.2.0__ebe3ab0caa75a162\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0.dll
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_64\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64\v4.0_7.1.2.0__07d115044e882e03\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64.dll
Ensure that any references to these files in your Visual Studio project point to the Global Assembly Cache location, not to the DE or client installation directories. Here is a sample for the 64bit file.
a. In the Visual Studio Solution Explorer, expand the client sub-project.
b. Under References, select Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64.dll.
c. In the Properties dialog, view the Path to ensure the GAC is referenced:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_64\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64\v4.0_7.1.2.0__07d115044e882e03\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64.dll
d. If the GAC is not referenced, remove the Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64 reference and add a new reference pointing to this file:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.Net\assembly\GAC_64\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64\v4.0_7.1.2.0__07d115044e882e03\Platform.Symphony.Soam.Net4.0_64.dll
a. Log on to the master host as the cluster administrator and disable IBM Spectrum Symphony applications:
C:\>soamcontrol app disable all
b. Log on to each host in the cluster and back up the following binary files:
%SOAM_HOME%\7.1.2\w2k3_x64-vc7-psdk\etc\ssm.exe
%SOAM_HOME%\7.1.2\w2k3_x64-vc7-psdk\etc\ssm.pdb
