Install Fixes from Empower or a Fix Image
Note: In clustered environments, Software AG recommends that you install all required fixes on each node.
1. Start Update Manager.
2. If you are installing from Empower, select Fix Management in the Action list, and then select Install fixes from Empower.
3. If you want to create a script, select Also create script. For Script file name, specify the full path to the file in which to save the new script. The directory that will contain the script must exist, and no part of the path or file name can include a space. You can specify any name for the file. You do not have to supply an extension; Update Manager will automatically add the extension .txt.
Important: If you create a script while installing from an image, the script will run only if the image remains available under the same name and in the same location.
4. For Product directory, specify the full path to the product installation directory.
5. If you are installing from Empower, provide your Empower user name and Password.
6. Select Next.
If you are installing from Empower, Update Manager tries to connect. If your company connects to the Internet through an HTTP or Socks proxy server, you must use that proxy server to install. Update Manager gives you the option to specify the proxy server connection settings.
Update Manager displays the fix selection tree. The tree lists the following:
The products in the specified product installation directory.
If you are installing from
Empower, the latest fixes that are available for the products.
If you are installing from an image, the fixes in the image.
Any fixes that are already installed on the products. The names of these fixes are followed by the word (Installed).
Any fixes that have already been installed on the products, but must be reinstalled to update product infrastructure or to apply to new instances that have been added to existing products (for example, to
Integration Server or
My webMethods Server). The names of these fixes are followed by the word (Reinstall). These fixes are preselected and cannot be unselected.
If the tree does not display any fixes available for installation, then no fixes are available for the products in the specified installation directory.
7. Select the fixes to install.
The following table describes information about size and space requirements shown by Update Manager.
Field | Meaning |
Size | Size of the currently selected fix. |
Total Download Size | Sum of the sizes of all selected fixes. |
Free space required | Four times the total download size. This is because Update Manager downloads fixes in a ZIP file, but when extracted the fixes are about two times the size of the ZIP file. In addition, Update Manager requires space to back up any previously installed fixes, to write temporary files, and to perform file operations. |
Free space available | Space available on the target machine. If free space required exceeds this number, Update Manager will display an error message. |
8. Select Next. Update Manager lists the fixes you selected. If there are other fixes that are related to and required by the fixes you selected, and products to which the fixes apply exist in the specified installation directory, Update Manager lists those fixes as well.
Note: If products to which related required fixes apply do not exist in the specified installation directory, Update Manager will list those fixes at the end of the installation.
9. When you are done reviewing the list, select Next.
10. Depending on the products you are working with, the Update Manager might ask for product connection values. The Update Manager needs the connection values to shut down and act on the indicated products.
Note: If multiple instances of a product exist on the machine, make sure the connection values you supply identify the instance that is in the specified product installation directory.
11. Select Next. Update Manager installs the fixes, and then displays the installation complete panel.
If products for which there are related required fixes did not exist in the specified installation directory, Update Manager lists the fixes now. You must install them on their products as soon as possible.
Important: If you do not install the listed related required fixes, your products will not work properly together.
12. Restart the products on which you installed fixes.
