Upgrade procedure steps:
- Download the latest fix pack image from IBM Fix Central or IBM Passport Advantage.
- Perform a backup.
- Update the JDK if needed:
In Fix Central there is an SDK_5020603.zip file that contains the latest JDK:
The JDK can be updated later if needed with the upgradeJDK.sh script . For more details
Upgrade your JDK documentation
- Update the JCE if needed in sandbox.cfg
- Encrypt the passphrase using imutilsc
From your Installation manager directory, navigate to:
/IBM/InstallationManager/eclipse/tools
./imutilsc encryptString mypassword
- Prepare the response file:
responseFile_update_B2Bi.xml : Use this file to upgrade from Sterling B2B Integrator V5.2.x and to apply fix packs.
replace values that are designated within $$<variable>$$
Prepare the installation response file
- Finally, run the installation
imcl -input /home/si/responseFile_update_B2Bi.xml -acceptLicense
Attention! if you have more than one cluster node:
For clusters node 2 and higher, you must update the value of REINIT_DB to false. When REINIT_DB is false, database updates are not applied during each fix pack. The REINIT_DB attribute is in the \\install\properties\ sandbox.cfg file.
Additional notes:
- ~/var/ibm/InstallationManager/logs/InstallYYYYMMDD_HHMM.log will contain the installation traces.
- Don’t forget to upgrade software packages like the external perimeter Servers if applicable.

hi ,
I perform upgrade from SI 5.2.6.5_2 to v6.1.0.1 first . Upgrade went successful ,but performance tuning screen was giving system error . so we roll back and back to 5.2.6.5_2 . Then application was performing correctly.
However , when we attempted upgrade using same response file , somehow it is giving “Failed to connect to one or more repositories”. Howver all the paths mentioned in response file are correct . Can you please help?
