HI floks,
Do any have any kind of doc's on how to install fixpak on mq v6.0 to v6.0.2 ???
Is that just donwload the fixpak rpms and install them or we need to do some configuration changes ???? :rolleyes:
I never applied the fixpak for mq on linux ...i applied for was, commerce using update installer wizard but for MQ on linux there is no wizard right ?
So i really appreciate if some one can explain me or guide me there !
Thanks in advance ! |

Try the readme that comes with the FixPack, and also the QB guide for the platform - they'll give you all you need.

It's no different to how you installed the original base of WMQ, but with a slight difference that there may be a requirement to uninstall one or more dependent modules first - but that's all in the readme.

Hey guys one more question ....for applying the fixpak do we use the rpm -uvh or rpm -ivh .....?????
I assume that rpm -Uvh is appropriate since it update the rpm package with the latest once right !
So should i go with rpm Uvh options or ivh .....install other set of rpm packages???? |

rpm -U will UPDATE packages if they are already there. If not then the specified packages will be installed.
rpm -i will only INSTALL things. If the package already exists then is will fail with an error stating that the package is already installed.
NOTE the CAPITALIZATION of the -U
I generally use rpm -Uvh when installing WMQ rpm's. Pretty well the ONLY Time I explicitly use rpm -ivh is when I'm installing a new Linux Kernel andits dependencies.

Every time you reinvent the wheel the more square it gets (anon). If in doubt think and investigate before you ask silly questions. |
