Hi,
Our environment details are:
MB tool kit Version: 7.0.0.1
Build id: 7.0.0.1-20100630_0750
MQ version: 7.0
Operation mode: enterprise
OS Name: AIX
OS Version: 5
OS Architecture: 00C8BE244C00
Version: 7001
Build Level: S700-FP01
SAP adapter version in CWYAP_SAPAdapter.jar
Manifest-Version: 1.0
Ant-Version: Apache Ant 1.6.5
Created-By: 2.3 (IBM Corporation)
Name: com/ibm/j2ca/sap
Implementation-Title: "IBM WebSphere Adapter for SAP Software"
Implementation-Version: 7.0.0.1
Implementation-Vendor: "International Business Machines Corporation"
I was wondering if there is a way we can upgrade just the SAP adapter runtime implementation from 7.0.0.1 to 7.0.0.3 without upgrading the actual product itself.
Also, we would be very interested to know from folks who might have upgraded from 7.0 FP1 to 7.0 FP3 for the whole product or for the adapter.
We have critical interfaces running the above mentioned version in prod and wanted to understand any issues we might run into if we decide to upgrade. |

Well, potentially, you could apply FP3 and then use mqsichangebroker -f to make sure you only ran at FP1 level.
But that would be pretty weak. It's like buying a maserati and then only driving it in first gear.
Just apply FP3 and move on. |

All,
Thanks for the inputs. My only concern is regarding any regression that could occur when performing the upgrade.
I read in some posts about some issues with the SAP Adapter nodes with it having issues after upgrades to FP3.
Of course we would be doing our testing for regression as much as we can but trying to understand if anyone has had any such issues. |

Go to FP3, open a PMR to get the corresponding APAR and then everything should be fine.

| You should go for the FP3 and you will get more functions and applications there. I have also upgraded it three months ago and it's very easy to use. |

We ran into problems going from FP2 to FP3 last autumn and had to PMR and patch the FP3. After the patch we were informed that some interfaces had to be rebuilt and redeployed, meaning that just patching production would cause some adapters to fail. We patched test first of course and found out about the issues there.
Later in the PMR dialog with IBM the SAP Adapter team informed us that only a restart was needed to make the fix work, no rebuild needed.
By that time we had already reverted to FP2 and are still only on FP2.
There is a memory issue on deployment in FP2 for SAP Adapters that means that you should not redeploy, but remove and deploy if I remember correctly, this is fixed in FP3. |
