Installing the Windows Patch

Before you install the Windows patch, make sure that you have backed up the files listed in Pre-Installation Considerations.

In the base directory path for input to the patch scripts, use a forward slash (/). For example: c:/sun

To install the Windows patch:

1. Logon to the Windows system as a member of the Administrators group.

2. Create a directory to download and unzip the Windows patch file. For example: AM7p8

3. Download and unzip the 124296-09.zip file in the directory from the previous step.

4. Stop all Java ES 2005Q4 services.

5. Run the AM7p8\scripts\prepatch.pl script.

6. Run AM7p8\124296-09.exe to install the patch.

7. Run the AM7p8\scripts\postpatch.pl script.

8. Restart the Java ES 2005Q4 services.

9. Redeploy the Access Manager applications. See Post-Installation Considerations for more information.

10. Run the AM7p8\scripts\updateschema.pl script to update the Directory Server service schema. The script validates your entries and then loads the files. The script also writes the following log file:

    javaes-install-directory\AccessManager\AM70Patch-upgrade-schema-timestamp

11. Restart the Java ES 2005Q4 services.
