Install Quickr 8.5 for WPS - Part 2

In this post, I would like to show you how to update Quickr installation before we will configure it.

Most important link for this part is:

Update strategy for IBM Lotus Quickr 8.5 for WebSphere Portal
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21434121

In my case, I am installing on CentOS, I had a problem to run an updateinstaller for WebSphere SW.
The problem is, that install.sh script check OS version from /etc/redhat-release file.
So there are two options how to go around:

• Change redhat-release file to contain a valid RHEL release information 
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga)

or

• Change the install script ... comment out line where version variable is set and add new one and set it to value 5. 

After this I was able to run ./install of WebSphere update installer.

Keep in mind, you must add password for wasadmin and portaladmin in to wkplc.properties file!

During installation of Portal FP I get an error because this file has no execute
So after I started installation a changed file as follow. It is important to change it after installer is started

Run commands in this order
./updatePortal.sh -install -installDir "/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/" -fixpack -fixpackDir "/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/update/fixpacks/" -fixpackID WP_PTF_6106

& in new terminal run this to change access:


# ls -al /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1457 Nov 29 16:07 /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh

# chmod +x /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh


 # ls -al /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1457 Nov 29 16:11 /opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/actions/PUIAction.sh

! The same thing I did during Quickr CF8 ... because there was exactly the same problem.


After portal FP installation, there is a error every time you run a portalupdateinstaller or a WPVersionInfo.sh.
There is a typo in this files:
/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/version/prereq.wcm.webdav.component
/opt/IBM/Quickr/PortalServer/wcm/prereq.wcm.fp615/version/prereq.wcm.webdav.component

build-version="Build CF51 51.0.4"prereq.wcm.webdav"
Correct one is as a follow:
build-version="Build CF51 51.0.4" name="prereq.wcm.webdav"

After two day of work it is done ... BLUE HELL?!
