IBM i Installation - Re-Installation of Same Release
Currently, IBM i runs Workload Automation 5.1.1. These pages provide information for that version.
Re-Installation Using Same Libraries
If you are reinstalling a Workload Automation for IBM i release (5.1.1 and later) into the same libraries, you do not have to remove the currently installed release.
Note
Re-installing to the same libraries will preserve configuration and other user-modified files, as well as objects created as part of the installation process. The re-installation process will replace programs, commands, etc.
Re-installation to the same libraries can be performed without deleting the current release.
Step 1 | Back up all file objects in all of the Workload Automation libraries - product, temporary, spool, and command reference - prior to re-installation (in case errors occur during the re-installation process). |
|---|---|
Step 2 | End the Universal Broker subsystem, UNVUBR511 (UBROKER if renamed). |
Step 3 | Run RSTLICPGM to install Workload Automation using the library names used during the initial 5.1.1 installation. |
Step 4 | After installation is complete, check the configuration and component files to ensure that the re-installation process preserved all changes previously made. Restore any files not correctly preserved from the backed up file objects. |
Step 5 | Restart UNVUBR511. |
Step 6 | Make sure that previous events needed by the customer are displayed via the I-Activity Monitor and that any disconnected jobs, as well as any appropriate MFT spool files, are correctly displayed using the Universal Query. If problems exist, restore the spool library from the backed up file objects. |
Step 7 | If UCHGRLS was previously run to remove 511 tags from the Workload Automation commands in QSYS, manually delete the newly created, 511-tagged Workload Automation commands in QSYS. A list of those commands can be found in QSYS Library. Note Do not remove the UNVUBR511 user profile from QSYS. |
Re-Installation Using Different Library Names
Before reinstalling a Workload Automation for IBM i release (5.1.1 and later) into different libraries, you must remove the currently installed release.
Step 1 | Save copies of all configuration files and component definition files; otherwise, the configuration and component information will be lost. |
|---|---|
Step 2 | Remove the currently installed release (see Product Removal). |
Step 3 | Re-install the 5.1.1 release. See New Installation (Default) and New Installation (Custom) to determine which process is most appropriate for your environment. |
Step 4 | Merge the saved configuration into the newly installed configuration files manually. Conversely, the saved configuration files can be copied in place of the reinstalled configuration files. |
Step 5 | Optionally, use the UCHGRLS (Change Release Tag) Program to change the names of the Workload Automation for IBM i commands in the IBM i QSYS library. |
