Before You Install a HotFix on IBM i

Before You Install a HotFix on IBM i

Before you install the hotfix, perform following prerequisite tasks:
  1. Stop all PowerExchange tasks.
  2. Back up the PowerExchange software library,
    dtllib
    . This library contains the PowerExchange programs, messages, and license key. If you specify the DMX_DIR statement in the DBMOVER member of the CFG file, back up the library to which it points.
  3. If you use CDC, back up the following libraries:
    • Data library (
      datalib
      ). PowerExchange created this library when you ran the IBM i Installer or CRTPWXENV command. This library contains the CFG file, the CCT file with the capture registrations, and the CDCT file with information about PowerExchange condense files.
    • Extraction library (
      cpxlib
      ). This library contains the extraction maps. The CPX_DIR statement in the DBMOVER member of the CFG file points to this library.
  4. If you use PowerExchange Condense, back up the directories referenced by the following parameters in the CAPTPARM member of the CFG file:
    • CHKPT_BASENAME. The library and base file name that PowerExchange Condense uses for generating checkpoint files.
    • COND_DIR. The library that is specified in this parameter contains the condense files created by PowerExchange Condense.
    If you plan to cold start PowerExchange Condense, you do not need to back up the libraries specified in the CHKPT_BASENAME and COND_DIR parameters.
