To apply the interim fix, complete the following steps:

  1. Verify that the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) ND version is at supported level as listed in Software Compatibility section, and all appropriate iFix or iFixes have been applied.
  2. Verify that the WebSphere Application Server Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) version is at supported level as listed in Software Compatibility section.
  3. Download the WebSphere Update Installer version 7.0.0.7 on the Access Gateway application server.
  4. Download the IMS UPDI Plugins package 7.0.0.1-WS-WAS-IMS-UPDIPlugins.pak into the WAS_ROOT/updateInstaller/maintenance directory on both the Access Gateway Application servers.
  5. If the IMS UPDI Plugin is already installed on the WAS Update Installer (Note: After applying the IMS Update Installer Plugin, if you have upgraded or installed a new version of the WAS Update Installer (UPDI) itself, then you won’t be able to apply this fix pack). You need to download and run a reset script available on the support download site which will then allow installation of TWSS 7.1 Interim fix 001. For details see the IMS Update Installer Plugins installation page for fix pack 7.0.0.1: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg24017457
  6. Download the TWSS Update Installer package 7.1.0-WS-WAS-TWSS-AG-IF000001.pak to the WAS_ESB_ROOT/updateInstaller/maintenance directory on the Access Gateway servers.
  7. Download the TWSS WID plugin iFix package 7.1.0-WS-WAS-TWSS-WIDPlugins-IF000001.zip to a temporary folder and unzip the contents into the folder <WID_HOME>/TWSS folder. It should have extracted the PX21_MM_FLOW.zip file which contains the WID flow.
  8. Start the Update Installer as described in the WebSphere documentation, and select the TWSS fix pack(s) to be installed.
    1. First, install the UPDI Plugins package on each of the deployment managers of the WESB clusters.
    2. Install the 7.1.0-WS-WAS-TWSS-AG-IF000001.pak which contains updates to the Access Gateway on the deployment manager and all nodes for the Access Gateway.
    3. The Update Installer updates the WAS_ESB_ROOT/lib/ext directory and the WAS_ESB_ROOT/installableApps/TWSS-Base directory.
  9. Update the component EARs that are deployed on the application server by running TWSS First Steps with 'Update' option.
