How to upgrade a Sterling B2B Integrator 5.2.5 to 5.2.6 with IBM Installation manager using the Update script

Restriction
You cannot use the update script If you installed or updated your existing Sterling B2B Integrator by using the Installation Manager. The UpdateScript will install the IBM Installation Manager IIM so this script can only be used the first time. After this you will need to use the IIM (See this blog about upgrading using IIM and a response file ).

Before any upgrade, backup the application file system and the Database.

Procedure in 3 steps:

1*/ Download the latest fix pack image from IBM Fix Central or IBM Passport Advantage.
Name of the Sterling B2B Integrator 5263 package:
Media_IM_5020603.zip

2*/ Extract the package to a folder, go to the media directory, and locate the following files:
- - IM_<operating system>.zip in the InstallationManager folder
- Common_Repo.zip

Do not decompress the Common_Repo.zip or IM_<OS>.zip files. The script decompresses the compressed files when it runs.

3*/ Run the following command from the UpdateScript/ directory

 $ update.sh full_path_to_b2bi
ProfileID -acceptLicenses system_passphrase

Example:

In the downloaded media, the update script is located under /UpdateScript:

 ./update.sh /IBM/SFG/SterlingIntegrator/install SterlingB2B 
-acceptLicenses myPassphrase

Important

system_passphrase is an optional parameter used to specify the system passphrase, which must be set if the system passphrase is not stored in a property file.

You must include double quotes for the Profile ID if there are spaces in the name.

For example:

./update.sh /opt/apps/SI_INSTALL “Sterling Integrator” -acceptLicenses <system_passphrase>

Here, the Profile ID is “Sterling Integrator” marked in double quotes.
