IBM Specifying the profile path in the BPMConfig properties file for IBM Business Process Manager (BPM) - United States BPMConfig; profile; path; directory TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION How do you specify the profile path in the configuration properties file for IBM Business Process Manager so you can use it with the BPMConfig command? ANSWER Note: The information that is contained in this document has been moved to dW Answers at this location [https://developer.ibm.com/answers/questions/171346/how-do-you-specify-the-profile-path-with-bpmconfig.html]. The new format will allow you to ask questions of the community to better understand the information. This technote will be archived in 60 days. Please bookmark the new location. You can use the following property names: * For a Deployment Manager profile: bpm.dmgr.profilePath * For a Custom profile: bpm.de.node.#.profilePath
9010cd5b53a77732b0801184b1c48513_1
For example: bpm.dmgr.profilePath=/usr/IBM/bpm85/profiles/DmgrProfile bpm.de.node.1.profilePath=c:\\Program Files\\WebSphere\\profiles\\MyCustomProfile1 For Microsoft Windows, you can use double backslashes or forward slashes. For example: bpm.de.node.1.profilePath=c:/Program Files/WebSphere/profiles/MyCustomProfile1 Note: If you are creating the profile makes sure a profilePath value does not exist. The parent directory of the profile path should exist and the user should have write privileges to create a new directory. For example, if you want to create a profile under the /usr/BPM850profiles/myProfile directory. Create the/usr/BPM850profiles directory, but do not create the /usr/BPM850profiles/myProfile directory.

IBM No data in some workspaces for MySQL agent - United States TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) Monitoring agent for MySQL when configured to monitor MySQL server versions 5.7.6 and above does not collect data for some of the attribute groups. SYMPTOM Data does not get collected for the following views that show system and status variable related information: View name Workspace name Navigator group name Statistics Statistics Availability Operations per second MySQL status data Availability Session status Agent Configuration Configuration Global status Global variables Server String properties Numeric properties Following exception is seen in the JDBC trace logs: - JdbcConnection.executeFromList-new - java.sql.SQLException: The 'INFORMATION_SCHEMA.GLOBAL_STATUS' feature is disabled; see the documentation for 'show_compatibility_56'
758fb88676d239ce5946cf8e01d8b3a4_1
The above error is seen for MySQL versions 5.7.9 and higher. For MySQL versions prior to 5.7.9, selecting from the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables produces an empty result set with a deprecation warning. Note: MySQL agent is packaged with ITCAM for Applications (IBM Tivoli Monitoring) and Application Performance Monitoring 8.1.x solutions. CAUSE Few tables in the INFORMATION_SCHEMA that are used by the agent to collect monitoring data are deprecated in the MySQL server versions 5.7.6 and above. Due to this deprecation these tables cannot be queried normally and cause an error when the agent tries to query these tables to get data. More details about the MySQL INFORMATION_SCHEMA migration to performance_schema here: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/performance-schema-variable-table-migration.html [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/performance-schema-variable-table-migration.html] ENVIRONMENT MySQL agent installed on MySQL Server versions 5.7.6 and above.
758fb88676d239ce5946cf8e01d8b3a4_2
RESOLVING THE PROBLEM Users wanting to run the agent on MySQL server versions 5.7.6 and above should use the 'show_compatibility_56' [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/server-system-variables.html] system variable which affects whether MySQL 5.6 compatibility is enabled with respect to how system and status variable information is provided by the INFORMATION_SCHEMA. This variable can be set from the MySQL command prompt as: set global show_compatibility_56=ON; The default value of the variable 'show_compatibility_56' for MySQL server versions <=5.7.7 is ‘ON’ and for versions >=5.7.8 is ‘OFF’. User can check the value of this variable by running the following command from the MySQL command prompt: show global variables like "show_compatibility_56"; This variable can also be set in the MySQL server configuration file also called as Option file.
758fb88676d239ce5946cf8e01d8b3a4_3
User needs to add the following line to the ‘my.cnf’ file (located at ‘<MySQL_Installation_Dir>/my.cnf’ for Windows and ‘/etc/my.cnf’ for UNIX/Linux): show_compatibility_56=ON The paths mentioned above are the default paths for the Option file. For more details on where your installation of MySQL server looks for the 'my.cnf' file, refer the URL: https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/option-files.html [https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/option-files.html] Note: Change in 'my.cnf' file will require a MySQL server re-start for the changes to take effect.

IBM Configuring file content extraction tools for IBM Connections Search - United States stellent file content conversion extraction TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM IBM Connections uses the Stellent (Oracle Outside In Technology) Export utility to extract text from documents of various types. The extracted text is added to the Search index allowing users to find documents based on the content. When the Stellent utility is not configured correctly, file content will not be extracted or indexed. Therefore, search results within IBM Connections will not contain any matches on file content. For any content extraction issues, follow the steps in this tech note. RESOLVING THE PROBLEM 1 Stellent installation Ensure that the following IBM Connections post-installation task has been carried out: http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Copying_Search_conversion_tools_to_local_nodes_ic40 [http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/lcwiki.nsf/dx/Copying_Search_conversion_tools_to_local_nodes_ic40]

2 Running the exporter in isolation from IBM Connections To verify that the exporter is working correctly, you can run it on the command line in isolation from IBM Connections. To run the exporter executable on the command line, execute the following as the user that the Search WebSphere Application Server is running under: 1. Change directory to the Stellent binary location. For example: $ cd /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport 2. Run the exporter command. The exporter command has the following syntax: exporter inputpath=<path_to_input_file> outputpath=<path_to_extracted_text_output> outputid=FI_SEARCHTEXT For example, $ ./exporter inputpath=/root/translation.pdf \ outputpath=/root/testStellent.txt outputid=FI_SEARCHTEXT If the text extraction worked successfully, you will see the following output: Export complete However, if you see a message like the one below, continue to step 3:
fb108e821cae435c7dd5fcd877064aaa_2
./exporter: error while loading shared libraries: libsc_ex.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory 3 Operating System Environment Variables Ensure that the operating system environment variables LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PATH are set correctly in Section 1. Both variables should contain the Stellent installation directory. To get the current values of the environment variables, run the following commands as the user that the Search WebSphere Application Server is running under: $ echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH $ echo $PATH To verify that the Stellent exporter executable can be found through the PATH environment variable, run the following command: $ which exporter The output of this command should contain the full path to the exporter executable. For example: /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport/exporter 4 WebSphere Environment
fb108e821cae435c7dd5fcd877064aaa_3
Using the WebSphere Application Server administration console, ensure that the WebSphere environment variable FILE_CONTENT_CONVERSION points to the exporter executable. For example: /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport/exporter 5 File Permissions Ensure that the user that the Search WebSphere Application Server is running under has sufficient privileges. They should have read/write/execute permissions on the exporter executable and read/write permissions on the other files in the Stellent installation directory. 6 Library compatibility Verify that the libraries deployed with Stellent are compatible with your platform. For example, on a 64 bit Linux system: $ uname -a Linux host1 2.6.18-308.11.1.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jun 15 15:41:53 EDT 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ cd /opt/IBM/Connections/data/local/search/stellent/dcs/oiexport $ file libsc_ex.so libsc_ex.so: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, AMD x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), not stripped
fb108e821cae435c7dd5fcd877064aaa_4
(Note that your Stellent installation may contain 32 bit libraries though you are running on 64 bit platform. This is not an issue, provided that the 32 bit compatible libraries are on the LD_LIBRARY_PATH or can be found on the shared library search path). 7 Shared library dependencies The Stellent exporter executable has a number of dependencies on both the shared libraries packaged with Stellent and on shared libraries installed on your system. To verify that all the required shared libraries can be found, use the 'ldd' command on the exporter executable as follows: $ ldd -v exporter Check the output of this command for any shared libraries marked as '=> not found'. Stellent shared library not found If a Stellent shared library can't be found, then check that the setting of your LD_LIBRARY_PATH operating system environment variable contains the Stellent installation directory. System shared library not found
fb108e821cae435c7dd5fcd877064aaa_5
If a system shared library can't be found, then you are missing a prerequisite library. NOTE: It is still possible to pick up libraries from locations other than those included in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH operating system environment variable, as long as they can be found elsewhere on the system's default search path. In addition to libc.so.6, Stellent is dependent upon the following libraries: libstdc++.so.5 libgcc_s.so.1 For Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 and later, it is possible that you are missing the package compat-libstdc++-33 . This package contains libstdc++.so.5. * *

IBM Correct understanding of CSV version of PVU reports - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What files are in the audit snapshot generated by IBM License Metric Tool or IBM BigFix Inventory version 9.x, and what is the correct interpretation of the values in the CSV report files? CAUSE The licensing reports in CSV format can be misinterpreted by some customers. ANSWER Audit snapshot is a record of PVU and RVU MAPC utilization in your enterprise over a period of time. It contains the following files:
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_1
* audit_trail.csv – all user actions that influence the final results of the licensing reports, for example, software classification actions, uploads and imports of the PVU table, software catalog, and charge units as well as changes to the VM managers. * data_conditions.txt – conditions that were used during the generation of the audit snapshot, including the reporting period and filters applied on the reports as well as general information about the time when the snapshot was generated, version of the PVU table and software catalog, status of the import, aggregation, and recalculation. * part_numbers.csv - part numbers that are listed in the software catalog for all software products that are included in any of the CSV report files. * pvu_full_capacity.csv - PVU full capacity license metric results * pvu_sub_capacity.csv - PVU subcapacity license metric results * rvu_full_capacity.csv - RVU full capacity license metric results
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_2
* rvu_sub_capacity.csv - RVU subcapacity license metric results * bundling_definitions.csv - list of IBM software regardless of its license type and utilization together with details of the computers on which the software is installed * readme.txt - a link to this document (technote) * checksums.txt, signature.rsa, and pub_key.pem - files used by IBM auditors to verify the authenticity and correctness of the audit snapshot.
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_3
Why some product instances are not listed in the CSV reports? CSV reports with information about PVU and RVU MAPC utilization (pvu_full_capacity.csv, pvu_sub_capacity.csv, rvu_full_capacity.csv, and rvu_sub_capacity.csv) list only software instances that were discovered during the license peak value time. If an instance was installed in your environment during the reporting period of the current audit snapshot but was not discovered during the license peak value time, the instance is not listed in the CSV reports. Example: Three instances of DB2 are installed. The reporting period is set to one month and DB2 license utilization is as follows: · Instance 1 uses the maximum of 100 PVUs, · Instance 2 uses the maximum of 300 PVUs, · Instance 3 uses the maximum of 500 PVUs.
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_4
The license peak value occurs when the sum of PVU values for all instances is the highest and equals 800 PVUs (300 PVUs for instance 2 + 500 PVUs for instance 3). The peak occurs during the period that is marked with a red square (it is the license peak value time). The peak usage for instance 1 is outside of the red square. It means that this instance was installed in the environment during the current reporting period but was not discovered during the license peak value time. This instance is not listed in the CSV report. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=1] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=1] Why some values from the CSV report do not relate back to what is displayed on the user interface?
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_5
When all values from column M (Physical Server PVU Subcapacity) for a particular product are added, the obtained value is greater that the value that is displayed in the user interface. It happens due to the way that data is presented in CSV reports and on the user interface. The All IBM Metrics and IBM PVU subcapacity reports are multilevel, and consist of the following levels: 1. First level: a list of all products [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=2] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=2] 2. Second level: when you click a product name, you go to information about the physical server on which the product is installed. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=3] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=3] 3. Third level: when you click the server name, you go to a list of virtual machines that run on this server and have the product installed. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=4] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=4]
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_6
The audit snapshot is not multilevel. However, it has to present the same information that the report that is available in the user interface. Below is an excerpt from the audit snapshot that corresponds to the report that was presented on the screen shots above (some columns are hidden in the snapshot to simplify it). [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=5] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=5] When values in column M are added, PVU consumption equals 480 PVUs. However, these values should not be added because they all refer to a single server (TLM_VM_423…) on which the four VMs run, not an individual VM that is listed in column P (Computer).
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_7
The value in column M is repeated due to the way data needs to be presented in a CSV file. If you want to relate back the value from column M in the audit snapshot to the user interface report, it is the value that you can see in the column PVU Subcapacity Limit on the second level of the report. The value in column L relates back to the column CPU Core Subcapacity on the second level of the report. [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=6] [/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21688543&aid=6]
4ece24351ba7c19e785bf39e2cb233fa_8
PVU and RVU MAPC subcapacity license terms specify license consumption only on the physical server level. PVU and RVU MAPC values cannot be calculated and presented on the virtual machine or LPAR level, and such data is not provided by License Metric Tool or BigFix Inventory.

IBM Java SDK Upgrade Policy for the IBM WebSphere Application Server - United States upgrade policy TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION What is the Java™ SDK upgrade policy for the IBM® WebSphere® Application Server? CAUSE Updating to the latest compatible Java SDK could help you resolve problems more quickly. ANSWER The IBM WebSphere Application Server Java SDK can be upgraded to the latest service release for the same Java SDK version. List of WebSphere Application Server fix packs and the corresponding Java SDK versions [http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27005002] Policy Summary by WebSphere Application Server release:
1068647f851e10b0e7362b1566d90fcf_1
WebSphere Application Server V8.0, V8.5, V8.5.5 Starting with V8.0 and applicable to all subsequent releases and fixpacks, there is one install package that contains updates for both WebSphere Application Server and Java SDK. Applying fixpacks of WebSphere Application Server also upgrades the SDK that is packaged and bundled within the fixpack. Additionally, separate Java SDK fixpacks are also available that contain just the SDK updates which can be applied to upgrade the SDK. WebSphere Application Server V7.0 Any V7.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.6.0 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Any V6.1 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.5.0 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V6.0 Any V6.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.4.2 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server.
1068647f851e10b0e7362b1566d90fcf_2
WebSphere Application Server V5.1 Any V5.1 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.4.1 and any V5.1.1 can be upgraded to the latest Java SDK 1.4.2 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. WebSphere Application Server V5.0 Any V5.0 fix pack can upgrade to the latest Java SDK 1.3.1 service release packaged for WebSphere Application Server. Details of Java SDK Upgrade Policy WebSphere Application Server leverages the Java SDK as a base component. This results in unique support issues, including: * Matching Java SDK service releases to Application Server releases and fix packs * Delivering updates and fixes associated with the Java SDK on any given Application Server release. In an effort to resolve customer Java SDK situations as quickly as possible, WebSphere Application Server Support has done a quickest-path-to-resolution analysis, determining the most direct way to collect problem information.
1068647f851e10b0e7362b1566d90fcf_3
In some cases, problem resolution might include finding shortcuts to resolve symptoms. One shortcut is an immediate upgrade to a newer compatible Java SDK service release, before gathering detailed problem determination data. There are multiple advantages to performing an immediate Java SDK upgrade as a quicker path to resolution over a full Problem Determination (PD) process: 1. There is a continuous stream of fixes going into the Java SDK. Many problems encountered by customers are resolved by these fixes. 2. When a new problem is encountered, applying the latest Java SDK is a quick way to determine if related fixes change the symptoms or correct the problem. 3. Many documented Java SDK fixes have common symptoms. Frequently, limited PD data does not isolate the problem to a single root cause. These factors highlight the advantage of applying a newer Java SDK before working through a full PD cycle.
1068647f851e10b0e7362b1566d90fcf_4
Java SDK and WebSphere Application Server software are updated frequently. To avoid compatibility issues for customers, WebSphere Application Server Support maintains this Java SDK Upgrade Policy. WebSphere Application Server Support details: http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html [http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/support.html] Identifying compatibility limitations between WebSphere Application Server releases and Java SDK service releases that have not been tested together reduces risk. Important: Using a Java SDK not specifically packaged with WebSphere Application Server and supplied by IBM, or in violation of the Java SDK Upgrade Policy, is not supported by IBM WebSphere Application Server Support for Java SDK problems.

IBM Error # 2070. The license server is down. Specific symptom number: 3 - United States TECHNOTE (FAQ) QUESTION We have network installations of IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler. When the application is launched, the following errors are reported: "The current license does not permit this job to continue." followed by... "Error # 2070 The license server is down. Please check to see that the license server is running or ask your local SPSS coordinator to check the license server. This command is not executed. Specific symptom number: 3." The Safenet Sentinel License Manager has been licensed and confirmed to be running. What is the problem? CAUSE The above error can be caused by invalid values entered during the licensing phase of installing SPSS Statistics/Modeler or the client machine cannot reach the Sentinel License Manager host using the machine Hostname. ANSWER Please do the following to verify:
539bd36c21beb94310df9f4f7969211a_1
1. Navigate to the IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler directory and open "spssprod.inf", using any text editor. - By default, SPSS Statistics would store this file in: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Statistics\xx\ - By default, SPSS Modeler would store this file in: C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Modeler\xx.x\bin\ 2. Verify the "DaemonHost" value matches the Hostname or IP Address of the machine where the Safenet Sentinel License Manager is installed. - E.g. DaemonHost=MyLicenseServer or DaemonHost=127.0.0.1 If the DaemonHost value specifies redundant license servers, please do the following if you are using SPSS Statistics 22 (or earlier) or SPSS Modeler 16.0 (or earlier): a). Remove all license servers from the "DaemonHost" line and save the file.
539bd36c21beb94310df9f4f7969211a_2
b). Create a system environment variable, called LSHOST, on each SPSS client with your redundant license servers as its value. Separate each redundant license server with a colon, e.g. ========================== Variable: LSHOST Value: server1:server2:server3 ========================== If the "DaemonHost" value is accurate and you are using a Hostname value, you have a name resolution problem. Error # 2070, Symptom number 3 typically means the SPSS client cannot connect to the name resolution database or the name resolution database does not contain a record for the machine where the SPSS Sentinel License Manager resides. To verify, please do the following: 1. Run lswhere.exe (which is located in the SPSS directory, see above) from the problematic SPSS Client machine and take note of the displayed output. The following is an example of the output: ========================== Sentinel LM 8.x.x Search Tool For License Servers Copyright (C) 20xx Rainbow Technologies, Inc.
539bd36c21beb94310df9f4f7969211a_3
Server Address : xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Server Name : Machine_A ========================== If the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine is not listed or you encounter the error, "Error[17]: Probably no servers are running on this subnet.", please add the following system environment variable to the IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler client and run lswhere.exe again: ========================== Variable: LSHOST Value: Name or IP address of the License Manager machine ========================== For information about defining environment variables, see the Network License Administrator's Guide. If using the LSHOST environment variable does not render the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine, try using LSFORCEHOST instead. 2. When you see the Safenet Sentinel License Manager machine name and corresponding IP address listed in the lswhere output, ping the displayed Server Name from a command line, e.g. ========================== ping Machine_A ==========================
539bd36c21beb94310df9f4f7969211a_4
An example of the resulting output is as follows: ========================== Unknown host Machine_A ========================== If the ping command is unable to resolve the Server Name, you have a name resolution problem and must address it (with help from your IT Administrator/Help Desk team) before IBM SPSS Statistics/Modeler can acquire a license from the Sentinel License Manager.

IBM Product upgrade installed a second instance of the DE, causing upgrade failure. - United States DEL2INST; Tivoli; Deployment; Engine; FQDN; Duplicate; acsi TECHNOTE (TROUBLESHOOTING) PROBLEM(ABSTRACT) The Deployment Engine should only have one instance installed on a server with IBM products installed. In this case, a second DE was installed, which caused the failure of the Product upgrade. Error: Wrong Deployment Engine. SYMPTOM Product install failed. You will get a message similar to this: You are updating an instance of <Product name> that was installed using the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully Qualified hostname>". However you are now using the DE located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<hostname>". When the DE is installed as non-root ( in this case nc_admin ), it will install the DE in the user home directory, in this case /home/nc_admin, and use the FQDN in the name: /home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully Qualified hostname>
3e699506b863fbdc317226b692c4c933_1
CAUSE Because the two Product installs used different versions of JVM, the underlying Java is using "hostname" for one version of JVM, and "Fully Qualified hostname" for the other. The DE normally uses the FQDN appended to the "acsi_" string to create the DE directory: For example, if the Product is being installed as user "nc_admin" and the entry in /etc/hosts is this: x.xx.xxx.xx server_name.corporation.net server_name The hostname is "server_name" Fully Qualified hostname (FQDN) is "server_name.corporation.net" ENVIRONMENT Upgrading existing product that uses the Deployment Engine on a UNIX server DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM Output similar to this when the Product install fails: the Tivoli Deployment Engine (DE) located at "/home/nc_admin/.acsi_<Fully qualified hostname>". However you are now using the DE located at "<User_home>/nc_admin/.acsi_<hostname>" RESOLVING THE PROBLEM There are two options to fix this problem.
3e699506b863fbdc317226b692c4c933_2
1) Make sure the current upgrade is using the same version of JVM as the original install. 2) Removing the newly created DE, which shouldn't have been created, then creating a link to the existing DE is the best work around in this case. The Product upgrade will see the link and add the information to the valid DE install. *IMPORTANT NOTE: The Product install failure message will tell you what instance of the DE is valid, please refer to the error message in the "Symptom" section above. At this point there will be the following in the DE_HOME directory: .acsi_<FQDN> ( Valid DE installation ) .acsi_<userid> ( link to .acsi_<FQDN> ) .acsi_<hostname> ( Invalid DE directory created by the failed Product upgrade ) This can be confirmed by referring to the Product install error. Removing the invalid DE and creating softlink: - Backup the original DE installation directory: <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN>
3e699506b863fbdc317226b692c4c933_3
- Move the new invalid DE directory to a backup directory: <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<hostname> - Create a soft link to the "good" DE install cd <DE_HOME> ln -s <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN> .acsi_<hostname> - Confirm the link was created successfully, it should look like this: > ls -lart lrwxrwxrwx 1 nc_admin ncoadmin <date> .acsi_<hostname> -> <DE_HOME>/.acsi_<FQDN> 3) Retry the product install. You will need to confirm there is no required cleanup before retrying the Product upgrade.

The update for PI27904 will be included in fix packs 7.0.0.37, 8.0.0.10 and 8.5.5.4.
00b2b30790d2c9b98aef43c46d6e56a5_2
WORKAROUNDS AND MITIGATIONS For all releases and versions of Apache based IBM HTTP Server, IBM recommends disabling SSLv3: Add the following directive to the httpd.conf file to disable SSLv3 and SSLv2 for each context that contains "SSLEnable": # Disable SSLv3 for CVE-2014-3566 # SSLv2 is disabled in V8R0 and later by default, and in typical V7 # and earlier configurations disabled implicitly when SSLv3 ciphers # are configured with SSLCipherSpec. SSLProtocolDisable SSLv3 SSLv2 Stop and restart IHS for the changes to take affect. Note: * If you start IHS with the -f command line argument, or you use the "Include" directive to include alternate configuration files, you may need to search those filenames for SSLEnable. * If you configure SSL with SSLEnable in the global (non-virtualhost) scope, you will need to move SSLEnable into a virtualhost scope to add SSLProtocolDisable
00b2b30790d2c9b98aef43c46d6e56a5_3
IBM recommends that you review your entire environment to identify other areas that enable SSLv3 protocol and take appropriate mitigation (such as disabling SSLv3) and remediation actions.
