Installing AE Services updates and patches using CLI

About this task

AE Services updates and patches consist of .bin files of RPMs. You can apply multiple updates or patches to the system. To see all the updates or patches installed on the server, use the swversion -a command.

Updates and patches are available on the following Web sites:

Check these sites periodically to see if there is a new patch that applies to your system.

cautionCAUTION

Always use the procedure described in this book, not an RPM command, to install AE Services updates or patches.

Procedure

  1. From the AE Services Management Console, back up the server data before you install an update. See Backing up the AE Services server data.
  2. Open an ssh session to the AE Services server and access an account with root privileges. See Opening an ssh session to AE Services for more information.
  3. Download any new patch or update files to the current directory.
  4. From the command line, type ./xxxx.bin where xxxx is the name of the downloaded file.

    The system displays the update or patch ID and the RPMs contained in the package. The system then prompts you to confirm the installation of the RPMs.

    • If you enter y, the installation of the update or patch proceeds. The system:

      • stops AE Services, Tomcat service, and DBService.

      • installs the RPMs contained in the package.

      • restarts AE Services, Tomcat service, and DBService.

    • If you enter n, the installation of the update or patch terminates.
