Automating Your Business

In this post we will apply the latest fixes to an existing installation of "IBM Business Automation Manager Open Editions".


From the site https://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral in the "Find product" section, set "Product selector *" field as "IBM Business Automation Manager Open Editions", then select the current version/platform of your installation, press the "Continue" button, select "Browse for fixes", press the "Continue" button again, select the interim fix of your interest and press the "Continue" button again, then download the parts of your interest.

In this example we will apply the fixes (latest available at the end of October 2022) to the 'Business Central' component (authoring environment) and to the 'KieServer' component (runtime environment).

Let's download the file "bamoe-8.0.1-update.zip" and extract the contents of the file into a temporary folder.

We will use the 'apply-updates.sh' shell script.

The command we will use requires two parameters, the first identifies the complete path of the component to be updated, the second parameter identifies the component selector

./apply-updates.sh ${IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH} ${IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR}

for example to update the 'Business Central' component we will use the following parameters

IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH=${EAP_HOME}/standalone/deployments/business-central.war
IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR=rhpam-business-central-eap7-deployable

to update the 'KieServer' component we will use the following parameters

IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH=${EAP_HOME}/standalone/deployments/kie-server.war
IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR=rhpam-kie-server-ee8

Let's go !

Warning: Power down the server instance !!!

Let's now update the product with the following commands:

IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH=${EAP_HOME}/standalone/deployments/business-central.war
IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR=rhpam-business-central-eap7-deployable
./apply-updates.sh ${IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH} ${IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR}

then

IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH=${EAP_HOME}/standalone/deployments/kie-server.war
IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR=rhpam-kie-server-ee8
./apply-updates.sh ${IBAMOE_COMP_FULL_PATH} ${IBAMOE_COMP_SELECTOR}

Now you can restart the server.
