Installing the IBM TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3.1 fix pack

To install the TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3.1 fix pack, refer to the following instructions.

Before you begin

Before you extract and run the fix pack file, back up the existing TRIRIGA files and make a backup copy of the database. You can extract the fix pack file into any directory.

About this task

Note: In the patch folder for the 3.5.3.1 fix pack, when the fix pack installer backs up the ibm-tririga.war file, the back-up .war file appears as the ibs-tririga.war.bak file.

Procedure

  1. Ensure that no database configuration changes are pending.
  2. Shut down all of the application and process servers.
  3. Take a back-up of the database of the TRIRIGA install directory.
  4. For IBM WebSphere® Application Server, shutdown the WebSphere enterprise application that runs TRIRIGA and leave the WebSphere Application Server up. After the backup completes, restart WebSphere Application Server.
  5. For Oracle WebLogic Server installations, start and run the Oracle WebLogic Server while you apply the fix pack.
  6. Download the 3.5.3-TIV-TAP-FP001 file.
  7. Extract the file and run one of following patch executable files: fixpack_tririga_v3.5.3.1_Windows.exe, fixpack_tririga_v3.5.3.1_Linux.bin, or fixpack_tririga_v3.5.3.1_AIX.bin.
  8. In the Introduction pane, select Next.
  9. In the license agreement, accept the terms and select Next.
  10. Choose the directory where IBM TRIRIGA is installed. For example, the following directories: c:\ibm\tririga\ or /opt/ibm/tririga/.
  11. Review the information and select Next.
  12. The fix pack process patches the WAR file, runs any platform database fix pack scripts, and redeploys the WAR file in Liberty.
  13. For Oracle WebLogic Server, delete all of the cache, tmp, and .wlnotdelete directories that might contain files that are left over from the previous application/ear installation. For example:

    C:\oracle\weblogic10\user_projects\domains\tririga10domain\servers\tririgaServer\tmp

    C:\oracle\weblogic10\user_projects\domains\tririga10domain\servers\tririgaServer\cache

    or

    /opt/oracle/weblogic10/user_projects/domains/tririga10domain/servers/tririgaServer/cache

    /opt/oracle/weblogic10/user_projects/domains/tririga10domain/servers/tririgaServer/tmp

  14. For Oracle WebLogic Server, the fix pack process attempts to redeploy the WAR file into the managed server. However, because of conditions in the server environment outside of IBM TRIRIGA's control, you might need to manually redeploy the WAR file. Restart the application server when the fix pack completes, and check the build number in the IBM TRIRIGA Administrator Console. If the old .war file still shows, redeploy the .war file. Refer to Oracle's instructions for deploying a .war application into the managed server.
  15. For WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core profile, the WAR file deploys and the cache directories are automatically removed. This is required to restart Liberty.
  16. For WebSphere Application Server, the WAR file redeploys and starts automatically. If it fails, you can try to manually redeploy. The WAR file is located in one of the following root TRIRIGA install directories: c:\ibm\tririga\ibm-tririga.war or /opt/ibm/tririga/ibm-tririga.war
  17. For Oracle WebLogic Server, the fix pack process attempts to restart the managed server. You might need to manually restart the application server.

Resolved issues

The following issues were resolved in the TRIRIGA Application Platform 3.5.3.1 fix pack.

General issues

The following issues were resolved in 3.5.3.1.

APAR Number Description
IJ00434 When you do a platform upgrade, an upgrade class no longer throws an error if there is a problem with a Hybrid Application/Platform table. (Tri-286700)
IV98382 To exclude cross-frame scripting, add the following to the TRIRIGAWEB.properties file. 
httpheader.X-Frame-Options=SAMEORIGIN
(Tri-277395)
IV98495 Resolved an object migration import issue where the encryption type for business object password fields on the target environment could not be changed by an import package. The fix for the issue now allows import packages to change the encryption type for a password field on the target environment, only if the encryption type for that field on the target environment is set to Do Not Encrypt before import. If the encryption type is set to something other than Do Not Encrypt, then it cannot be changed by an object migration import package. (Tri-284347)
IV98506 Improved the efficiency of queries with geo/org security and that previously used large amounts of database resources. (Tri-277770)
IV98730 When you open a Gantt task from a Gantt section and edit schedule values such as planned start, end, or total working hours, the Gantt correctly updates when the user's time zone and the system time zone were out of sync, and in some other scenarios that involve different time zones between users and tasks. (Tri-278480)
IV98929 Gantt scheduler properly handles MS Project Import, where planned start, planned end, planned calculated start, and planned calculated end dates and times now correctly adjust for the project resource time zone. (Tri-279175, Tri-279342)
IV98949 1: When navigating through radio buttons via keyboard, the user can select the correct radio button without using the up/down key more than once. 2: User now can focus/trigger form section actions, refresh, and select result size in a query section when navigating via the keyboard. 3: User now can trigger form actions such as create draft and save via keyboard when a form is displayed in portal sections and as a separate window. 4: When using a keyboard, when a form section action triggers a pop-up layer, the user can cycle through various elements on the pop-up layer until the pop up is closed. 5: When using the Chrome browser, user now can navigate an alert message and trigger an action via keyboard. (Tri-284346)
IV98952 A user without access to My Reports no longer gets an unauthorized error when the user views chart reports. (Tri-279465)
IV98954 To make tables accessible, header cells are marked with <th> and data cells are marked with <td>. (Tri-284345)
IV98956 Images that have no meaning have the text alternative attribute set to null. (Tri-285665)
IV98960 JAWS now can announce the following descriptions: - Collapsible buttons description - Table size and content description - Quick links description - X button description (Tri-284342)
IV98962 The visual presentation of text and images of text has a contrast ratio of 4.5:1 for normal text and a 3:1 ratio for large-scale text. (Level AA). (Tri-285663)
IV99409 Activating or deactivating users no longer causes a failure when the action includes a lookup to a Group Members record that does not exist. (Tri-282730)
IV99737 Resolved a scheduled event issue that involved monthly recurrence, where an unexpected extra recurrence event was scheduled if the task being processed was a single partial month and the recurrence date was the same as the task’s end date. (Tri-284720)
  Support for user-defined HTTP response headers was added to the TRIRIGAWEB.properties file. 
USER DEFINED HTTP RESPONSE HEADERS
This property enables an HTTP response header on ALL HTTP responses that originate from this server. Each header must
     1. Each header must be placed on its own line.
     2. The header name must be prefixed with the value 'httpheader.'
     3. The header name and header value must be separated by an '='.
httpheader.=
httpheader.=
    .     .         .
    .     .         .
    .     .         .
httpheader.=

Example 1: To add the "X-Frame-Options: SAMEORIGIN" response header to all TRIRIGA server responses, an admin enters the following value in the TRIRIGAWEB.properties file.
    httpheader.X-Frame-Options=SAMEORIGIN

Example 2: To add the "Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains" response header to all TRIRIGA server responses, an admin enters the following value in the TRIRIGAWEB.properties file.
    httpheader.Strict-Transport-Security= max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains
(Tri-276596, Tri-276598)
  The Gantt consistently handles umbrella tasks when their dates are recalculated because of child task date changes in the Gantt Scheduler. (Tri-280464)
  Working hours and end dates now properly calculate when the other was updated in the Gantt Scheduler. This also ensures that umbrella task values are also properly calculated and updated. (Tri-280954)
