In addition to service releases, IBM Rational solution for Collaborative Lifecycle Management (CLM) and Design Management (DM) independently publish iFixes, which are rolled into fix pack releases. The content of these fix packs cannot be predicted when a version of IBM Quick Deployer is released. To address this problem, Quick Deployer V1.3 supplies its fix pack installer in 2 parts:

• A basic script that ships as part of Quick Deployer and is executed by IBM UrbanCode Deploy.
  Note: should this script need to be updated, a new version will be made available and can be downloaded and installed via this extra step.
• Soon after the release of a fix pack (CLM or DM), files will be made available to support the installation of the fix pack. This will consist of: a processing engine script that is used by the basic script and a configuration file to control the fix pack installation. Download the processing engine script to the CLMiFix folder and the configuration file to the CLMiFix or DMiFix folder on the Quick Deployer media sever.

General media server information for Quick Deployer support of CLM fix packs

Place the CLM fix pack support files alongside the iFix .zip file in the CLMiFix folder. For example, to install CLM 601 iFix007 you need the files listed below. More information on the expected content of a Quick Deployer media server can be found on the IBMQuickDeployerInstallationMediaOld wiki.

• CLMiFix
  • CLM_601_iFix007.zip
  • CLM_601_iFix007_QDconfig.properties
  • InstallMaintenanceFilesEngine.sh

General media server information for Quick Deployer support of DM fix packs

Place the DM fix pack support files alongside the iFix .zip file in the DMiFix folder. For example, to install DM 601 iFix007 you need the files listed below. More information on the expected content of a Quick Deployer media server can be found on the IBMQuickDeployerInstallationMediaOld wiki. Note: to install a DM fix pack the corresponding CLM fix pack must also be installed

• DMiFix
  • DM_601_iFix_7.zip
  • DM_601_iFix_7_QDconfig.properties
  • Rhapsody_DM_ModelServer_601_iFix_7.zip
  • Rhapsody_DM_ModelServer_601_iFix_7_QDconfig.properties

Downloads

To install an iFix, you need to download the processing engine script and the configuration file that matches the fix pack that you plan to install.

Processing engine script

All supported iFixes can be installed by the same version of the InstallMaintenanceFilesEngine.sh script. Download the compressed file, extract the script and place it in the CLMiFix folder on the media server.
