Installation Instructions – Resolution A

----------------------------------------------------------

Apply 1.3.6 Interim Fix 2 or later (targeted availability 1Q2020).
Note: You may choose to upgrade all components using the upgrade documentation in the knowledge center and then apply Interim Fix 2, or just apply Interim Fix 2 to the UI component. The 1.3.6 UI component will work with other PI components on version 1.3.5.

--OR–

Upgrade at least the UI component to the 1.3.6 version with Interim Fix 1 and continue with Resolution B
Note: You may choose to upgrade all components using the upgrade documentation in the knowledge center and then apply Interim Fix 1, or just apply Interim Fix 1 to the UI component. The 1.3.6 UI component will work with other PI components on version 1.3.5.

Remove Update Instructions – Resolution A

----------------------------------------------------------------

1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop

2. Replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_7.0.10.45
mv ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig ibm-java-x86_64-70

3. Start the UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

Installation Instructions – Resolution B

--------------------------------------------------------

Apply 1.3.6 Interim Fix 2 or later (targeted availability 1Q2020).

--OR–

1. Download ibm-java-sdk-8.0-6.0-linux-x86_64.tgz from Fix Central

2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
where UI_HOME is typically /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI

3. cd <UI_HOME>

4. Rename JAVA SDK installation folder
mv ibm-java-x86_64-80 ibm-java-x86_64-80_orig

5. Unpack the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder
tar xfz ~/Downloads/ibm-java-sdk-8.0-6.0-linux-x86_64.tgz
This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-80 folder in <UI_HOME>

6. Start the UI server
<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

Remove Update Instructions – Resolution B
---------------------------------------------------------------

1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, e.g. scadmin, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
