Fujitsu Middleware patches are only distributed to the target servers. This section explains the method to apply Fujitsu Middleware patches.
Fujitsu middleware patch distribution destination
Fujitsu Middleware patches are distributed using the following path on the target server.
When executing distribution of Fujitsu middleware patches, a directory with a name including the job ID and the date is created in the path as the standard distribution destination.
Business server
[Windows]
%SWCFMGA_DISTRIBUTE%\<job_ID>_<yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss> The default environment variable is as follows: Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager installation directory\SWCFMGB\var\distribute |
[Linux]
/var/opt/FJSVcfmgb/distribute/<job_ID>_<yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss> |
Linkage server
[Windows]
%SWCFMGA_DISTRIBUTE%\<job_ID>_<yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss> The default environment variable is as follows: Systemwalker Software Configuration Manager installation directory\SWCFMGA\var\distribute |
[Linux]
/var/opt/FJSVcfmga/distribute/<job_ID>_<yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss> |
Method to Change the Path for the Standard Distribution Destination
To change the path for the standard distribution destination, edit the values in the following system environment variables or files on the business server:
Business server
[Windows]
The system environment variable "SWCFMGA_DISTRIBUTE" contains the distribution directory - to change it, simply edit the system environment variable.
[Linux]
/etc/opt/FJSVcfmgb/config/distribute.properties |
The distribution destination directory path is defined in the "distribute_dir" item.
Example: distribute_dir=/var/opt/FJSVcfmgb/distribute
Linkage server
[Windows]
The system environment variable "SWCFMGA_DISTRIBUTE" contains the distribution directory - to change it, simply edit the system environment variable.
[Linux]
/etc/opt/FJSVcfmga/config/distribute.properties |
The distribution destination directory path is defined in the "distribute_dir" item in the configuration file.
Example: distribute_dir=/var/opt/FJSVcfmga/distribute
Method to Apply Fujitsu Middleware Patches
The revision information file (text file) and the update file are distributed to the patch distribution destination. For details on the patch application conditions and the application methods, check the revision information file. Use UpdateAdvisor (middleware) to apply the update files.
Examples of using the UpdateAdvisor (middleware) command are as follow. Apply all patches in the patch distribution destination. For details, refer to "Applying Updates (Using uam add)" in the UpdateAdvisor (middleware) help.
Example:
[Windows]
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Fujitsu\UpdateAdvisor\UpdateAdvisorMW\uam" add -s -d <Patch distribution destination> |
[Linux]
/opt/FJSVfupde/bin/uam add -s -d <Patch distribution destination> |
Deleting the Distribution Destination
The patch distribution destination is not automatically deleted. After patch application, delete the directory with the directory name, "<job_ID>_<yyyy-MM-dd_HH-mm-ss>" in the distribution destination. If the directory containing the distribution destination is wrongly deleted, an error will occur when Fujitsu middleware patches are distributed. In that case, manually create the directory with the path of the standard distribution destination.
