Upgrading middleware resources

When installing MainView Middleware Administrator (MVMA), it picks up Java libraries from the underlying middleware it will use (i.e. from the IBM WebSphere MQ Client or from TIBCO EMS) and copies it in OSGI bundles used by the MVMA services. As a result, if you update the middleware on the MVMA server operating system, this will not update the middleware resources in the OSGI bundles used by MVMA. Updating these resources is the responsibility of the Product Administrator.

Upgrading the IBM WebSphere MQ client for MVMA

To update the IBM WebSphere MQ Client for MVMA, install or update the IBM WebSphere MQ client on the MVMA server operating system and stop the MVMA service.

To upgrade the IBM WebSphere MQ client on Windows

Stop the MVMA service.
Open an elevated command prompt, right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator.
Ensure the MQ Java environment loaded reflects the upgrade made to the IBM WebSphere MQ Client (see Performing the installation ).
Navigate to the bin sub directory in the MVMA installation directory and run updatewmq.bat.

To upgrade the IBM WebSphere MQ client on Linux

Stop the MVMA service.
Ensure the MQ Java environment loaded reflects the upgrade made to the IBM WebSphere MQ Client (see Performing the installation ).
Navigate to the MVMA installation directory and run bin/admin --updatewmq.

Upgrading the TIBCO EMS client for MVMA

To update the TIBCO EMS client for MVMA, make sure the updated TIBCO EMS libraries are available on the MVMA server operating system (see Performing the installation) and stop the MVMA service.

To upgrade the TIBCO EMS client on Windows

Stop the MVMA service.
Open an elevated command prompt, right-click on cmd.exe and select Run as Administrator.
Ensure the updated TIBCO EMS libraries are available (see Performing the installation ).
Navigate to the bin sub directory in the MVMA installation directory and run updateems.bat -emsversion <EMS_VERSION> -emslibpath <PATH_TO_EMS_JARS> where <EMS_VERSION> is the version of the TIBCO EMS libraries and where <PATH_TO_THE_EMS_JARS> is the (fully qualified) path to the directory containing the libraries.

To upgrade the TIBCO EMS client on Linux

Stop the MVMA service.
Ensure the updated TIBCO EMS libraries are available (see Performing the installation ).
Navigate to the MVMA installation directory and run bin/admin --updateems -emsversion <EMS_VERSION> -emslibpath <PATH_TO_EMS_JARS> where <EMS_VERSION> is the version of the TIBCO EMS libraries and where <PATH_TO_THE_EMS_JARS> is the (fully qualified) path to the directory containing the libraries.
