Hi there,

Has anyone made the jump from one core technology level to another?  I want to update from 9.0.0.3 to 9.0.0.5.  Lawson has instructed me to follow the "Installing Lawson Core Technology Updates" chatper inthe Core Technology Installation guide.  The guide is quite vague and does not instruct what files to download (I know the patch files to download, but the core 9.0.0.5 files?).  Does anyone know where I can get better documentation?  Does anyone have any words of advice? 

Thanks!

Stephen

It should still be pretty straight-forward, however I don't know the specifics for iSeries.

When you install LSFCT, make sure you also install all post-release patches. Also, keep the other LSF-based products at the same release level (i.e. Portal, Design Studio, Process Flow Designer, Security Admin, etc. etc.)

The process for installing LSF9, Portal and Studio is pretty easy.

- Shutdown websphere

- Use two Java commands to do the install

> jar -xvf xxxx.zip

> java -jar xxxx.jar

The installation walks you thru the process and does all of the work. The only intervention required is for the LSFCT base release, where you will need to manually update the LDAP via ldapmodify, and will need the LDAP password used during the LSF9 install.

- After you've installed LSF 9.0.0.5 + patches, you need to delete and re-deploy IOS, BPM, and Lawson Security via websphere.

- Restart websphere

I've done it a bunch of times on Windows and Unix, and it's about 4 hours or so worth of work, most of it clicking and waiting...

also, look at this lawson article on redeploying the ear files. Article Id: 5166005

If you wouldn't mind, I'd love for you to share how the process is done on the iSeries. My assumption is that everything is installed via an IFS filesystem and "looks" like UNIX (that's how it was done prior to LSF9, right?)
