Installation Instructions – Workaround A
-------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
1.Download latest 1.3.6 iFix from FixCentral and apply an upgrade of the UI component only, so that the UI becomes a 1.3.6 UI.
2. Continue with work around B
Remove Update Instructions – Workaround A
--------------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
1. rollback the iFix that was applied, by executing ‘./patch_PI_UI_136_iFix3.sh -rollback’.
Installation Instructions – Workaround B
-------------------------------------------------------
To benefit from latest fixes and 3rd party libraries upgrade to latest 1.3.6 iFix
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
1. Download ibm-java-sdk-8.0-6.26-x86_64-archive.bin (158.82 MB) file from Fix Central ( Java 8.0.6.26 ( Service Refresh 6 Fix Pack 26 for IBM SDKs for Java Technology version 8.0 )
2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI
3. cd <UI_HOME>
4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig
5. As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-8.0-6.26.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path <UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-80
This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-80 folder in <UI_HOME>
6. If necessary, change the ownership of the newly installed SDK
e.g. chown -R scadmin:scadmin /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI/ibm-java*
7. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start the UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
Remove Update Instructions – Workaround B
--------------------------------------------------------------
As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin
1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
2. As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-8.0-6.26.bin and follow the prompts to uninstall the Java that was installed to <UI_HOME>
3. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig ibm-java-x86_64-80
4. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
