Applying the production patch

The steps that you used to apply the language pack to the copy of your production system are the same steps you need to apply to the production patch that you created in your actual production system.

Before you apply language pack to your production system, be sure to update the Service Manager configuration files:

  1. Stop the Service Manager server.
  2. Apply the required changes to the configuration files.

    The sm.ini and sm.cfg tables in Applying the language pack list the changes that you need to make to the Service Manager configuration files (sm.ini and sm.cfg) before applying the language pack. Record all changes that you have made so that you can revert them to the original status after the applying the language pack.

  3. Restart the Service Manager server.

After you update the Service Manager configuration files, follow these steps to apply a language pack to your production system:

Note When applying the patch to the production system, you must be the only user logged in to the system.

  1. Have all users log out of the server.

  2. Prevent users from logging into your Service Manager Server by running the quiesce command from the operating system’s command prompt.

    sm -quiesce:1

  3. Log in to your Service Manager server as a System Administrator.
  4. Go to System Administration > Ongoing Maintenance > Upgrade Utility > Apply Upgrade.

    Service Manager displays a screen that asks you to find a file called patchrel.unl.

  5. Enter the fully qualified path and file name to patchrel.unl in the production patch directory, and then click Next. This path must point to a location that the server can access.

    The Applications Patch Manager displays the current version of your applications and the version that will result after you apply the patch.

    Note It may take a long time to load the file after you click Next, even though there is no indication that the file is being loaded. Do not click Next again until the versions are displayed or the patch application will fail.

  6. Confirm that the source and target versions listed match your current production system and the language pack version, and then click Next to apply the language pack.

    When the Applications Patch Manager finishes applying the language pack, it displays a message indicating that your system was successfully updated.

  7. Click Finish.

  8. Log out from your Service Manager server, and then log in again.

  9. Allow users to log in to the server by running the quiesce command from the operating system’s command prompt.
