How can one tell if ifix7 has been effectively installed into CLM 5.0.2 Windows/Tomcat ?
Trying to fix the funny appearance of the question, but can't
We installed ifix7 (first time ever patching RTC) into our CLM (only RTC/RRC) 5.0.2 (1 Windows host for all apps/Tomcat/SQLserver 2012) on TST env, anticipating same implementation in PRD today. This was recommended by IBM support against our infrequent hangs of the RTC, hoping for a cure against the Lucerne indexing issues.
We have a hard time to find out if the ifix7 was effectively installed:
It does not look right: there is an ifix7 showed up " JIT - r9_20130920_46510ifx7" in App VM, but the status page on TST (with ifix7 zip in ...\server\patch) is exactly same as that on PRD (where ifix7 has not been applied, where there is no ...\server\patch folder)

Did we read the ifix7 readme wrong, executing:
· stop CLM (with server_shutdown.bat)
· create ….\server\patch
· Copy the server patch file CLM_server_patch_5.0.2.0-CALM502M-I20150704-0040.zip into the ...\server\patch directory.
· NO unzip
· Clean application server cache (empty …\tomcat\temp & …\tomcat\work)
· Start Tomcat Service
a. Stop the CLM server.
b. Verify whether the following directory exists: <server_installation_directory>/server/patch.
-If the directory exists, back up and remove its contents.
-If the directory does not exist, create it.
c. Copy the server patch file CLM_server_patch_5.0.2.0-CALM502M-I20150704-0040.zip into the /server/patch directory.
d. Clean the application server cache. Follow your application server's documentation on cache cleaning. Use "To clean the application cache in WebSphere" and "To clean the application cache in Tomcat" below as a reference.
e. Start the CLM server.
To clean the application cache in Tomcat:
Remove contents from these directories under the tomcat root: temp,work.
For example, "rm -rf <server_installation_directory>/server/tomcat/{temp,work}/*" on linux.

Oops! Found the answer, couldn't be any more stupid... :)
Need to unzip the ifix7 zip to find the file CLM_server_patch_5.0.2.0-CALM502M-I20150704-0040.zip (doubled zip!) to copy into patch

Thus patched, one will find on status pages, for each app, a Build line similar to below:
The patch is active for Jazz Foundation - Core Libraries. For details about the patch, see the readme.txt file. 5.0.2 (iFix007)

It looks like the similar symtom https://jazz.net/forum/questions/204098/with-the-new-ifix007-patch-is-it-necessary-to-redeploy-the-enclosed-war-files.
Have you checked <CLM installation>/server/logs/<app>_patch.log files to see if the patch was found to install?

oh, ok. what was wrong? |
Hi Iong,
I would recommend you to follow the readme.txt
Please find the details below.
1. SERVER PATCH
Note: Before you install the server patch file CLM_server_patch_5.0.2.0-CALM502M-I20150704-0040.zip, verify that no other test fixes or hot fixes are installed. If other fixes are installed, contact IBM Software Support.
For a CLM deployment on a single server, complete the following steps once. For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
To install the server patch:
a. Stop the CLM server.
b. Verify whether the following directory exists: <server_installation_directory>/server/patch.
-If the directory exists, back up and remove its contents.
-If the directory does not exist, create it.
c. Copy the server patch file CLM_server_patch_5.0.2.0-CALM502M-I20150704-0040.zip into the /server/patch directory.
d. Clean the application server cache. Follow your application server's documentation on cache cleaning. Use "To clean the application cache in WebSphere" and "To clean the application cache in Tomcat" below as a reference.
e. Start the CLM server.
Note: For a distributed CLM deployment, complete the same steps on each server.
Regards,
Arun.
