IBM i Installation - Re-Installation of Same Release

- Tony Partin
Currently, Universal Agent 7.7.0 for IBM i does not include Universal Command (UCMD) or Universal Data Mover (UDM). Customers who require those components should use an older version of Workload Automation for IBM i. The latest version containing those components is 5.1.1. Older versions of Workload Automation for IBM i can be installed alongside version 7.7.0.
Re-Installation Using Same Libraries
If you are reinstalling a Universal Agent for IBM i release 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 Universal Agent 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, UNVUBR770 (UBROKER if renamed). |
Step 3 | Run RSTLICPGM to install Universal Agent using the library names used during the initial 7.7.0 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 UNVUBR770. |
Step 6 | If UCHGRLS was previously run to remove 770 tags from the Universal Agent commands in QSYS, manually delete the newly created, 770-tagged Universal Agent commands in QSYS. A list of those commands can be found in QSYS Library. Note Do not remove the UNVUBR770 user profile from QSYS. |
Re-Installation Using Different Library Names
Before reinstalling a Universal Agent for IBM i release 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 7.7.0 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 Universal Agent for IBM i commands in the IBM i QSYS library. |
