PROBLEM SUMMARY:?

USERS AFFECTED:
 WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 7 and
7.0.0.1 users who want to use the
centralized installation manager (CIM) to
upgrade to WebSphere Virtual Enterprise
Version 7.0.0.1 or 7.0.0.2.

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
In WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version
7.0.0.1 and 7.0.0.2, the path
definition in the centralized
installation manager (CIM) does not
indicate the correct file location.

RECOMMENDATION:
 Apply this interim fix before you install
WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version
7.0.0.1
or 7.0.0.2 with the centralized
installation manager (CIM).

For WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 7.0.0.1 or 7.0.0.2,
the fix location is incorrctly set in the centralized
installation manager (CIM) descriptors. Due to the
incorrect setting CIM cannot apply WebSphere
Virtual Entrprise Version 7.0.0.1 or 7.0.0.2.

PROBLEM CONCLUSION:?                                            
For WebSphere Virtual Enterprise Version 7.0.0.1 or 7.0.0.2,    
due to the incorrct fix location in the centralized             
installation manager (CIM) descriptors, CIM cannot apply the    
fixes.

Install Fix to:
NOTE: Developers -  Place and X next to the proper installation method and remove this note
__ Application Server Nodes
_X_ Deployment Manager Nodes
__ Both

NOTE:
The user must have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environments. Also, you should be logged in with the same authority level when unpacking a fix, fix pack or refresh pack.

DOWNLOAD THE UPDATE INSTALLER TOOL IN ORDER TO INSTALL A FIX.
The Fix Installer can be downloaded from the following link:
http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21205991

The Update Installer for V5.0 does not have a maintenance directory. It uses fixpacks and fixes as the location of the unpacked files.

Customers must be at V6.1.0.17 or newer of the Update Installer.?This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file <was_root>/updateinstaller/version.txt.

1) Copy 7.0.0.0-WS-WVEWAS7-IFPM63181.pak file directly to the maintenance directory

2) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that maintenance is being applied to.

3) Launch Update Installer

4) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to update.

5) Select the "Install maintenance package" operation.

6) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to install (7.0.0.0-WS-WVEWAS7-IFPM63181.pak file which was copied in the maintenance directory).  The V5.0 and V5.1 fix packs and fixes are unpacked as .jar files and should be unpacked into fixpacks or fixes directory.

7) Install the maintenance package.

8) Restart WebSphere


Directions to remove fix:  
NOTE:  The user must have Administrative rights in Windows, or be the Actual Root User in a UNIX environments.

NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.
DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.
YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.

1) Shutdown WebSphere
Manually execute setupCmdLine.bat in Windows or . ./setupCmdLine.sh in Unix from the WebSphere instance that uninstall is being run against.

2) Start Update Installer

3) Enter the installation location of the WebSphere product you want to remove the fix.

4) Select  "Uninstall maintenance package" operation.

5) Enter the file name of the maintenance package to uninstall (7.0.0.0-WS-WVEWAS7-IFPM63181.pak).

6) UnInstall maintenance package.

7) Restart WebSphere

Directions to re-apply fix:  
1) Shutdown WebSphere

2) Follow the Fix instructions to apply the fix.

3) Restart WebSphere
