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.

 Upgrade Installation for Maintenance Release

To upgrade Universal Agent for IBM i from a currently installed release to a maintenance release, perform the following steps to install the cumulative PTFs:

Step 1

If it is running, end the Universal Broker subsystem (UNVUBR770) on the IBM i system.

On the IBM i, enter the following command:
 

===> ENDSBS SBS(UNVUBR770)

Step 2

Load the PTF.

On the IBM i, enter the following command:
 

===> LODPTF LICPGM(0UNV770) DEV(*SAVF) SAVF(QGPL/CUMUNV770)

Step 3

Apply the PTF.

On the IBM i, enter the following command:
 

===> APYPTF LICPGM(0UNV770)

This command applies all PTFs contained in the cumulative PTF file.
 
If you want to apply only selected PTFs, enter the following command:
 

===>APYPTF LICPGM(0UNV770) SELECT(ptf1 ptf2 ...)

This command applies the PTF temporarily.
 
If you want to apply the PTFs permanently after successful testing, re-execute the command with the parameter APY(*PERM).

Step 4

Restart UNVUBR770.
