Installation Instructions – Resolution A

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

As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin

1. Download LinuxX86_64_SDK_7.0.10.20 from Fix Central
2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, 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_64-70 ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig
5. As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-7.0-10.20.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
   When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path <UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-70
   This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-70 folder in <UI_HOME>
6. If necessary, change the ownership of the newly installed SDK e.g. chown -R scadmin:scadmin /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI/ibm-java*
7. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server<UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

Remove Update Instructions – Resolution A

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

As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin

1. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, stop the UI server used by IBM Operations Analytics Predictive Insights
   <UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -stop
2. As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-7.0-10.20.bin and follow the prompts to uninstall the Java that was installed to <UI_HOME>
3. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, replace the JAVA SDK installation folder with the original
   mv ibm-java-x86_64-70_orig ibm-java-x86_64-70
4. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start UI server
   <UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start

Installation Instructions – Resolution B

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

As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI component, e.g. scadmin

1. Download LinuxX86_64_SDK_8.0.5.10 from Fix Central
2. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, 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. As the root user, or a user with sudo access, run the ibm-java-x86_64-sdk-8.0-5.10.bin to install the SDK into the <UI_HOME> folder.
   When prompted for “Where would you like to install?”, supply the full path
   <UI_HOME>/ibm-java-x86_64-80
   This will create a new ibm-java-x86_64-80 folder in <UI_HOME>
6. If necessary, change the ownership of the newly installed SDK
   e.g. chown –R scadmin:scadmin /opt/IBM/scanalytics/UI/ibm-java*
7. As the user that installed the Predictive Insights UI, start the UI server
   <UI_HOME>/bin/pi.sh -start
