Installing Fixes

Install latest fixes right after products are installed.

Fix installation process is similar to product installation, even simpler!

1. Open templates/tutorial/template.yaml in the editor
2. Add repo.fix: ${} parameter.
3. Add spm.fixes: ALL parameter. The default value ALL is a special value that instructs to install all applicable fixes from the source fix repository.
4. Add fixRepo: ${repo.fix} property to the management layer to configure the source fix repository for this layer
5. Add fixes: ${spm.fixes} property to the plugins template to instruct the template to install a list of fixes after the products have been installed.

The final template looks like this:

Edit environments/default/env.properties and add a repo.fix=fixes-10.1 parameter. Make sure the value points to a registered fix repository you have. For cc.installer, install.dir and repo.product use the values that you used in the previous stages.

install.dir=${user.home}/sag/${spm.alias}

# MUST use one of these!

# Defaults for Windows
# cc.installer=cc-def-10.1-fix5-w64.zip 
 
# Defaults for Linux
# cc.installer=cc-def-10.1-fix5-lnxamd64.sh
 
# Defaults for Mac
# cc.installer=cc-def-10.1-fix5-osx.sh

repo.product=products-10.1
repo.fix=fixes-10.1

Apply the template:

[user@linuxbox tutorial]$ ant up

You can verify the product fixes were installed by opening the Command Central Web UI. Select dev8192 in the Installations tab. Then select the Fixes tab and you will the fixes that were installed.

Summary

Congratulations! You've successfully installed fixes from Empower.

If you have problems achieving the goals of this tutorial stage, use the following command to checkout everything that needed to be done so far. Make a note about your modifications of environment/default/env.properties because the version that you'll check out will overwrite them.

[user@linuxbox tutorial]$ git checkout stage-05 -f
