LSF 9.0.1.6 Patch Install Fails

Set the lawson services to manualstart, do a clean reboot, apply the patch with lawson services off.

I am on Unix so there are no services that autostart. I rebooted but the install still failed.

Which JT you are installing? Lawsec off.

I tried a batch install of all JT's and then I uninstalled the environment and started over trying just P6167 and P746. lawsec is off.

Sometimes the batch install skips the large base patches, in error. The batch update process can still be used with one patch, install one at a time as you are and continue validating manual stops and starts after each patch to ensure you did not get a bad one. It takes a little longer but hopefully will help you to find the error.

I have tried the P746 and P6167 one at a time and still get the error. The install is having trouble finding the lajavarts library even though it is in $GENDIR/lib/shared.

Are your process definition settings for lawson filled out in WebSphere?
com.lawson.gen
com.lawson.lawdir
etc

Check:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/etc/lawson.env

Yes, I have everything entered in WebSphere. I double checked even though I was already able to logon to the Portal and ran LO920 before I tried the patch install. The WebSphere application server is stopped during the patch install anyway, so that should not be where these values come from.

$GENDIR/lib/shared is in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH of lawson.env.

Kevin, in my /etc/lawson.env /lawson/law/gen/lib/shared is also in LIBPATH. We also went to a convention of using complete paths, no variables. I don't really remember why that was as it was years ago. Might either one or both of those. Not sure if that will help.

Did you run the . cv as root before starting kicking off the patch?

We're the exact same setup as you are, except we're still on Oracle 10g. I didn't run into this issue after install.

Eric,
The actual entry in lawson.env is the complete path and not $GENDIR. I believe LIBPATH is for AIX, but I can try putting it in my lawson.env.

Jeff,
Yes, I did the following before installing.
newgrp lawson
umask 0
. cv envname

For HP-UX 11.31, in the lawson.env I have PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH. I don't think you want to put LIBPATH in there.

any error in your ladb.log and lase.log?

No errors in ladb.log or lase.log.

Can you post your /etc/lawson.env ? And the results of "env" as root?

If you'd rather email it, my email is jeffwhite@growmark.com

I have attached the information that you have requested.

I installed the exact same patches last week without error.

Can you run the stoplaw and startlaw manually from the command line without an error?

Do you have a copy of /etc/lawson.env before you added all of the other settings? Try going back to the original /etc/lawson.env and try it again.

The original does not have ORACLE_HOME. I suppose I could try adding just that variable and updating PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for oracle. What I don't understand is why the base LCT install did not get these errors. The install.log at this point in the base install shows "LDAS is ok"

But the base install didn't have all of those extra values in lawson.env. I don't know if lawson is complaining about all of those extra values being in there or not, but it's worth a shot. This is what we have: (PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH not filled out):
Set LAWENVNAME prod901
Set GENDIR /law90/gen
Set LAWDIR /law90/lawson
Set LADBDIR /law90/DB
Set LAW_JAVA_HOME /opt/java6
Set LAW_JAVA_BIN /opt/java6/bin/IA64W
Set COBDIR /opt/cobolse51
Set ORACLE_HOME /law90/db10g
Set LAWIPC 0x9
Set TWO_TASK gmkprd2
Set DATASET TF60
Set TAXFACTORY /law90/taxfacUS
Set TAXFACTORYCA /law90/taxfacCA
Set PATH
Set LD_LIBRARY_PATH

Jeff,

I added the ORACLE_HOME to the original lawson.env and the install was successful. I'll see if I can figure out which variable was causing the problem.

Thanks for your help.

Kevin

Based on the documentation on page 43 of the Lawson Core Technology Installation Guide, I included $JAVA_HOME/bin in the PATH before $LAW_JAVA_BIN. Removing that solved the problem.

Thank you everyone for our help.
