IBM Connections 3.0.1 on RHEL - how to install - 6. Fix WAS, IHS and Plug-in

Because IBM Connections needs to have specific WebSphere Application Server fix pack level (5 or 19), (as you can see in supported HW and SW document) we will install them in this post.

You will need following FixPacks


  1. Create new dir on your application server
    1. [root@ic install]# mkdir WASFix/
    2. Download all FPs running command for each:
    3. [root@ic WASFix]# wget <url from above list>
    4. After you will get all FPs, you shold see
    5. [root@ic WASFix]# ls -al
      drwxr-xr-x 2 root root      4096 Apr  3 17:53 .
      drwxr-xr-x 7 root root      4096 Apr  3 17:38 ..
      -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 110619051 Apr  3 17:57 7.0.0.21-WS-UPDI-LinuxAMD64.tar.gz
      -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  26391437 Apr  3 17:44 7.0.0-WS-IHS-LinuxX64-FP0000019.pak
      -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  43223029 Apr  3 17:48 7.0.0-WS-PLG-LinuxX64-FP0000019.pak
      -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 701712259 Apr  3 18:52 7.0.0-WS-WAS-LinuxX64-FP0000019.pak
      -rw-r--r-- 1 root root  88257374 Apr  3 17:54 7.0.0-WS-WASSDK-LinuxX64-FP0000019.pak total 948444

    6. Make sure, all app servers are shouldtown
      1. To stop DMGR run:
      2. [root@ic WASFix]#  /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/bin/stopManager.sh -user wasadmin -password <your password>
      3. Make a new folder UPDI under the WASFix folder for extracting the Updateinstaller, and extract it:
      4. [root@ic UPDI]# tar xvfz 7.0.0.21-WS-UPDI-LinuxAMD64.tar.gz
      5. [root@ic UPDI]# cd UpdateInstaller
      6. [root@ic UPDI]# ./install
        1. Installation wizard is opend, click NEXT
        2. Accept license and click NEXT
        3. System prerequisites check should Passed > NEXT
        4. Leave direcotry path in default (/opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller) > NEXT > NEXT to install
        5. After Installation Complete with status Success > Click FINISH
        6. The UpdateInstaller will be launched
      7. [root@ic UPDI]# mkdir /opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/maintenence
      8. [root@ic UPDI]# cd ..
      9. [root@ic WASFix]# mv 7.0.0-WS-* /opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/maintenance/
      10. Go back in to launched UpdateInstaller click NEXT
      11. In Product Selection Select AppServer (opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer) and click NEXT
      12. Select Install maintenence package and click NEXT
      13. In Maintenence Package Directory Selection leave default (it should be  /opt/IBM/WebSphere/UpdateInstaller/maintenance/) click NEXT 
      14. WASSDK and WAS package should be preselected, click NEXT
      15. Do not select Verify my permissions and click NEXT, after a few minutes, our installation should finished with Success status:
      16. Click RELAUNCH and install fixpacks for IHS and Plug-in - go over 11. to 15 but select in 11. IHS and then Plug-in. 
Actually I was little confused when I tried to install IHS and Plug-in fixpacks. First there is a mistake in IBM Connections 3.0.1 download document. Part Numbers are wrong for 64bit versions of Supplemental packages. Anyway I download the correct ones ... 64bit WAS Supplemental 1 and 2 are C1G36ML and  C1G37ML and not C1G33ML and C1G34ML. But after I installed IHS from 64bit package, command for determining installed version show 32bit again! You can run it as /opt/IBM/HTTPServer/bin/versionInfo.sh
I am afraid there is mistake in versioninfo.sh, because I successfully installed WASJDK, IHS and Plugin FixPack 19 x64 over this IHS and Plug-in also.
We've now finished the “pre-requisite” software install part - all the foundational software we need for Connections is now in place.
