Upgrading agents on IBM i systems
How to upgrade agents on IBM i systems.
About this task
You can upgrade the agent on an IBM i system
by using the twsinst
installation script.
To
upgrade an HCL Workload Automation agent,
perform the following steps:
- Sign on as QSECOFR user.
- Download the agent eImage from the HCL License Portal. For more information about the installation media, see Downloading installation images on your workstation or the Download Document at Product Requirements.
- If you downloaded the eImages, to extract the package, use the PASE shell
or the AIXterm command.
- Using PASE shell:
- Open the PASE shell.
- Run the command "CALL QP2TERM".
- Locate the folder where you downloaded the eImages and run the command:
"tar xvf TWS95_IBM_I.tar"
- Exit from the PASE shell.
- Using AIXterm command:
- Start the Xserver on your desktop.
- On the iSeries machine, open a QSH shell and export the display.
- In QSH shell, go to the directory /QopenSys and run the command "aixterm -sb".
- A pop-up window is displayed on your desktop. By Using this pop-up window, extract the file TWS95_IBM_I.tar.
Open a QSH shell and run the twsinst script.
The installation procedure replaces the library to the user profile library list of the dynamic agent user profile and sets this job description as the job description of the dynamic agent user profile. The upgrade process replaces the new version of the agent in the directory where the old agent is installed.Note: If you do not run the twsinst script from a QSH shell the installation fails.
