1. Installing Service Pack #3
=============================

1.1 Installing on Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP
------------------------------------------------

1.1.1 Which files must be downloaded?

The service pack consists of several self-extracting and
self-installing executables. There is one for each National
Language version of IBM WebSphere MQ Workflow.

To make the distribution of client updates easier, there are
three types of self-extracting executables. They update Client,
Buildtime, or full installations. The Client and
Buildtime packages contain only certain WebSphere MQ Workflow
components and they are only applicable if these components
or a subset of these components are already installed. Use the
full package to update installations that include more than these
components.

The Client package consists of the API Runtime Library,
Program Execution Agent, Runtime Client, Lotus Notes API,
Administration Utility, Samples, Java, and the Java Agent
component.

The Buildtime package includes just the Buildtime component and
the associated samples.


The following self-extracting executables are available:

1.1.2 Using the new Russian language support

To use the Russian language support that is introduced with
service pack 2, perform the following steps:

1. Install the English version of the base package using the
installation CDs.

2. Switch the installation language in the installation profile
to Russian by entering the following command at a command
prompt :

fmczchk -c inst:i,Language,RUS

3. Apply the service pack, as described in 1.1.3.

1.1.3 Installing the service pack

1. Make sure that you have stopped all running WebSphere MQ
Workflow processes and services before installing the service
pack.

2. In the Windows Explorer, double click on the executable for the
package-language combination that you require.

3. After the program has unpacked the files to the temporary
directory, the installation starts.

1.1.4 Upgrading your MQ Workflow configuration

Because this package includes updated DB2 bind files, you have
to bind the new files to your MQ Workflow Runtime
databases as follows:

1. Open a DOS Command Prompt and run the configuration utility
'fmczutil'

2. Choose the configuration identifier of the configuration you
want to update.

3. Select the 'r'untime database menu, then b'ind. All
bindings are made for you. This can take several minutes.

After you have performed these steps, your system is ready to
run. You can restart your MQ Workflow services and
processes again.


1.2 Installing on IBM AIX
-------------------------

1.2.1 Which files must be downloaded?

Download the package wf340a3u.tar.gz (69 MB) and unpack
the file to a temporary subdirectory. You need approximately
132 MB to unpack the file.

To create the update installation images, unpack the downloaded
file using the command:

gzip -dc wf340a3u.tar.gz | tar -vxf -

1.2.2 Installing the service pack

1) Stop all running WebSphere MQ Workflow processes, for example,
by shutting down the WebSphere MQ Workflow system using the
administration utility "fmcautil".

2) As root, perform the command 'slibclean'.

3) Update your WebSphere MQ Workflow 3.4.0.x installation (with or
without hotfixes applied) using smit - "update to
latest level" to level 3.4.0.30.
Note: Your configuration (profiles, /var/fmc/...)
will not be modified by the update.
However, the installation profile /usr/lpp/fmc/fmcrc
will be updated to reflect the new level
"ServiceLevel=3".

4) If you use DB2 as runtime database, you have to bind the new files
to your MQS Workflow Runtime databases, because this package
includes updated DB2 bind files, as follows:

a. As user "fmc", invoke the configuration utility 'fmczutil'

b. Select the configuration identifier of the configuration
you want to update.

c. Select 'r' for Runtime database menu, then 'b' for bind.
All bindings will be made for you. This can take several
minutes.

After you have performed these steps, your system is ready to
run. You can restart your queue manager, the trigger monitor,
and the administration server as usual by invoking the
following programs:

strmqm FMCQM &
runmqtrm -q FMCTRIGGER -m FMCQM &
fmcamain &

1.2.3 Using the new Russian language support

The Russian language support message file is automatically added
starting with service pack 2. To switch the Workflow language settings
use the procedures described in Appendix D of the Installation Guide:

1. Change the system language code by using

export LANG=ru_RU

2. Switch the installation language in the Workflow installation
profile to Russian ("rus"). To do this, enter the following

(16 MB), which needs about 54 MB to unpack.

1.3.2 Installing the service pack

1) Stop all running WebSphere MQ Workflow processes, for example,
by shutting down the WebSphere MQ Workflow System using
the admin utility "fmcautil". Make sure that all WebSphere MQ
Workflow processes are stopped and there are no product files
in use.

2) Update your WebSphere MQ Workflow 3.4.0.x files
(with or without having hotfixes applied) to level 3.4.0.30:

Issue the following command line as user "root", replacing the
path "/tmp/fmc340u3.pkg" from this example with the
fully-qualified path and filename of your ".pkg" file:
pkgadd -d /tmp/fmc340u3.pkg (full package)
or pkgadd -d /tmp/fmc340u3cl.pkg (client package)

Accept the installation of this package and overwrite
files from the previous package 3.4.0.x.

Note: Your configuration (profiles, /var/fmc/...)
will NOT be modified by the update.
However, the installation profile /opt/fmc/fmcrc will
be updated to reflect the new level "ServiceLevel=3".

3) Full installation package only:

If you use DB2 as runtime database, you have to bind the new files
to your MQ Workflow Runtime databases, because this package
includes updated DB2 bind files, as follows:

2. Important Notes
==================

2.1 Applying service packs to the Web Client
--------------------------------------------

It is recommended that you have a separate configuration for the
Web Client. This way, you can easily apply service packs to the Web
Client as follows:

1. Install the WebSphere MQ Workflow service pack.
2. If you are using WebSphere V4, back up the Web Client files
that you have changed (for example, WebClient.properties) to
a directory that is NOT a subdirectory of <MQWFDir>\cfgs or
<WebSphereDir>\installedApps. This is because the complete
subtree of your old Web Client configuration will be deleted
in the next step.
3. Delete the Web Client configuration using the configuration
utility 'fmczutil'.
4. Remove the Web Client's application server in WebSphere. If you
are using WebSphere Version 4, you must remove the Web Client
enterprise application before you can remove the application
server.
5. Create a new Web Client configuration.
6. Merge the changes you made with the new Web Client files. This
includes re-installing the samples for the Web Client, such as
the AuditTrailHandler and the Groupworklist sample.

NOTE: For the AuditTrailHandler, the Web Client needs
Xalan-Java 2, which is available from
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j

It is recommended that you delete the temporary
directory that you created for the compiled JSPs of the Web
Client on your application server. When using IBM WebSphere V3,
this temporary directory is
<WASDir>\temp\<virtual_host>\MQWFClient-<cfgID>,
for example,
d:\WebSphere\AppServer\temp\default_host\MQWFClient-WEBC.
When using IBM WebSphere V4, this temporary directory is
<WASDir>\temp\<node_name>\WebClient_Server_-_<cfgID>.

If you want to use https in WebSphere 4.0.2, set the
system properties under jvm settings.
Set the property 'java.protocol.handler.pkgs' to the value
'com.ibm.net.ssl.internal.www.protocol'.
For further update details, see the WebSphere documentation.



2.2 Documentation error for Portal Client
-----------------------------------------
Installation Guide, Appendix H, page 411, parts 1a and 3g refer
to the Portal Client WAR file as 'MQWFPortalClient.war'.
This is incorrect, the actual file name is 'fmcopcli.war'.



2.3 No more automatic changes to the CLASSPATH environment variable
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Before service pack 2, the installation of a service pack updated the
CLASSPATH variable to contain the latest version of the MQ Workflow
JAR file. Starting with service pack 2, you must update the CLASSPATH
manually to switch to the latest version. This is to prevent breaking
existing Java client configurations.

The latest JAR files can be found in
<workflow installation directory>\bin\java340<x>
where <x> is the number of the service pack.

It is recommended that you add "fmcojagt.jar" to the CLASSPATH.
If you have a thin installation, where "fmcojagt.jar"
is not installed, then you must add "fmcojapi.jar".



2.4 Database problems
---------------------

2.4.1 DB2 Version 8

If you use DB2 Version 8.1, make sure that you have installed
the fix for DB2 APAR IY39361.


2.4.1.1 DB2 Version 8 on Sun Solaris

On Sun Solaris, there is a known problem in the setup of the
XA communication. IY41550 is the corresponding DB2 APAR
number. As long as there is no fix available, the SQL error
998 with a reason code of 09 and a subcode of 02 might occur.

You must make sure that the value of the database manager
configuration variable "tp_mon_name" is set to "mq" (rather
than mqmax). The DB2 instance owner can set this configuration
parameter using the following command:
db2 update dbm cfg using tp_mon_name mq

Furthermore, the Websphere MQ Series library directory has
to be checked for the existence of a library or link named
"libmqmax.so". If neither the link nor the library exists,
then the link can be created by the MQ installation owner
using the following command:
ln -s /opt/mqm/lib/libmqmax.so /opt/mqm/lib/libmqmax.a


2.4.2 Oracle Database 8i Release 3 (8.1.7)

Make sure that you have installed Oracle 8i patchset 8.1.7.1,
or higher. With earlier versions of the Oracle DBMS, the runtime
servers do not start.

On AIX, do not use Oracle 8i patchset 8.1.7.2.

2.5. Problems with the configuration checker fmczchk
-----------------------------------------------------

When you use the fmczchk utility to check a server configuration,
it might display the error message:
FMC34032E: Cannot load TP Monitor library mq.dll: The specified module
could not be found (rc = 126).

Erroneously, the utility checks for mq.dll (or libmq.a|.so|.sl) instead
of mqmax.dll. If you receive this message, check that the
mqmax library (for Windows mqmax.dll, for AIX libmqmax.a, for Solaris
libmqmax.so, and for HP-UX libmqmax.sl) exists, is accessible and
loadable. If so, you can ignore the error message.


2.5.1 Wrong information when running with Microsoft Windows 2003

When using the configuration checker on the operating system Windows 2003
it might display the error message:
FMC34032E: Cannot load VB Runtime library msvbvm50.dll: The specified
module could not be found (rc = 126).

Erroneously, the utility checks on this operating system for the for
Windows 2000 necessary library msvbvm50.dll instead of the actual
msvbvm60.dll. If you receive this message, check that the actual library
msvbvm60.dll exists, is accessible and loadable. If so, you can ignore
the error message.


Furthermore, the checker utility might display the information message:
FMC34101I: The Operating System is Windows 2000 5.02.

This leads to no problems but must be recognized, when investigating
the checker log file.


2.6 Buildtime - Known problems, changes, hints and tips
---------------------------------------------------------

2.6.1 Refreshing objects tree in Buildtime

If you use Buildtime with an MS Jet database, occasionally the objects
tree does not refresh properly when you add new objects, such as
persons or roles.
The problem is caused by the Microsoft Jet database engine and, at the
moment, there is no fix available from Microsoft.
You can force to refresh objects by selecting the Buildtime menu item,
then click 'Refresh Buildtime'.


2.6.2 Problem importing large FDL files into Buildtime

When importing large FDL files into Buildtime, Buildtime appears to
interrupt the operation before the process finishes.

Reasons for the interruption can be:

1. DB2: The tablespace fills up, which causes DB2 to interrupt.
This problem has been addressed with APAR IX76273 for DB2 UDB,
which has been fixed in DB2 UDB V.5.2.
The problem occurs both with database-managed tablespaces
and with system-managed tablespaces. The Buildtime database
uses system-managed tablespaces.

2. Microsoft Jet engine:
The Jet engine creates temporary files on the C drive
(for example, jet1855.tmp). If there is not enough space
available on the C drive (temp directory), the system
runs out of space.
150 MB free space is recommended.

You can solve the problem as follows:

- If the process does not show any change in CPU time,
end the fmcbmain.exe using the task manager.
- Split the FDL file into smaller files and import them individually.

Following is an example of an FDL file with a size of 2 MB:
- 850 persons
- 30 roles
- 25 organizations
- 100 programs
- 30 data structures
- 80 processes with
- 700 activities
- 8000 activity container default values
- 1800 data mappings
plus everything else that belongs to the processes

For this scenario, the temporary jet engine file can grow up to a
size of 50 MB.


2.6.3 Possible error messages during Buildtime installation

If you are running IBM AntiVirus, you might get an InstallShield
error message with error code -115 during the installation of
the ODBC components.
Make sure to stop the NT Service called "AvService" before you
start the installation. If you encountered the error already,
cancel the MQ Workflow installation, stop AvService, then
rerun the MQ Workflow installation.

This error also happens with Norton AntiVirus.


2.6.4 Error in Microsoft Jet Database (Buildtime)

Using a vertical bar (|) in a name (Datastructure, Datastructure
member, etc.) leads to an ODBC error when Buildtime is used with an
MS Jet database.

For this problem there is already an entry in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:

------------------------------------------------------------
BUG: Use of Vertical Bar (|) Generates Syntax Error

Last reviewed: September 9, 1996
Article ID: Q124316 The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Open Database Connectivity Version 2.0

BUG# QJET: 11 (2.00.2317)

SYMPTOMS

When you use a SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, or DELETE queries with
a vertical bar (|) contained in a character string, you receive
an error that there is a syntax error in string in query expression.

For example, consider a table test created as follows:

CREATE TABLE test (t text(20))

Then use any of the following command:

INSERT INTO test VALUES('|')
DELETE FROM test WHERE t='|'
UPDATE test SET t='|'

This returns an error, with SQLSTATE=S1010 and
szErrorMsg="[Microsoft][ODBC Access 2.0 Driver]
Syntax error in string in query expression".

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the ODBC Access Driver
Version 2.00.2317. Further investigation into the problem is needed and
new information will be published in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as
soon as it becomes available.

There is a slight typo in the README for SP2..

The profile variable to correct the "Internal Error", when using back level clients with an upgraded version of the server, is wrong.

FMC_BEHAVE_LIKE_332 <--- Should be FMC_BEHAVE_LIKE_V332

I opened up a PMR with IBM and found this out the hard way..

Hope this post helps others.. !
Dave

Leonid:

You have to get this from IBM until they offically put out the fix. From what I now understand, there is an "early" version of this fix out which is what I have. Request the fix from your IBM Rep.
