Fix and update history

Interim Fix 001:

• APAR LI76433 - Firststeps - Issue related to configuration parameters in Firststeps console: This fix removes the necessity of providing JMXAdminUsername and JMXAdminPassword when security is disabled. JMXAdminUserName and JMXAdminPassword is required only if security is enabled.

• TWSSVersionInfo and TWSSFeatureInfo - These two scripts are available when iFix001 is installed using IBM Installation Manager.
  • TWSSVersionInfo.sh lists the version of IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server Base (TWSS-Base), IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server Service (TWSS-Services), along with any installed Interim Fix.
  • TWSSFeatureInfo.sh lists the installed features of IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server Base and IBM WebSphere Telecom Web Services Server Services.
    • To list TWSS Base features, "-b" is passed as an argument; that is, "TWSSFeatureInfo.sh -b".
    • To list TWSS Services features, "-s" is passed as an argument; that is, "TWSSFeatureInfo.sh -s".

Note: IBM Installation Manager should be stopped while executing these two scripts.

Note: TWSSFeatureInfo script is supported in IBM Installation Manager, Version 1.4.4 and above.

Installation instructions

Note: In this section:

• IM_ROOT refers to the Installation Manager home directory. For example: /opt/IBM/InstallationManager/.
• WAS_ROOT refers to the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) home directory. For example: /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/.

To apply the interim fix, complete the following steps:

Note: Consider the scenario where you have installed the TWSS-Base GM build without the Firststeps feature, and you have installed iFix001 on top of this. Later, you install Firststeps using the Modify option available in IBM Installation Manager. In such a scenario, if you attempt to uninstall iFix001, IBM Installation Manager gives a "Failed to find all Installation Files" error. Hence, before uninstalling iFix001, set the repositiry.config file of TWSS-Base GM build in IBM Installation Manager at File > Preferences > Add Repository.

Note: If iFix001 is uninstalled, TWSS-Base reverts to the GM version and the FirstStepsInfo.properties file (WAS_ROOT/installableApps/TWSS-Base/firststeps) gets modified. There are two methods to revert to the original values in the properties file:

• Edit the following fields in the FirstStepsInfo.properties file:
                          locale = %LOCALE%
                     locale_display_name = %LOCALE_DISPLAY_NAME%
                     locale_display_name_in_English = %LOCALE_DISPLAY_NAME_IN_ENGLISH%
  And change the values to:
                          locale = en_US
                     locale_display_name = English (United States)
                     locale_display_name_in_English = English (United States)
• Using the Modify option of IBM Installation Manager, uninstall Firststeps and install it again.
  

Configuration instructions

The configuration for TWSS is the same as that described in the TWSS 7.2 information center.
