Installing Service Packs

Sun periodically provides updates in release service packs. Following are instructions and information to help you when downloading and installing service pack contents.

Service packs are cumulative within a release. This means that each service pack includes the contents of the service packs introduced prior to it within the release. For example, you can install Service Pack 2 directly on the base product without first having to install Service Pack 1.

Downloading Service Packs

Log on to the Sun Online Support Center:

http://www.sun.com/supportraining/

Select Online Support Center.

Select your country and language.

In the Downloads area, select Software Updates for Customers with Support Contracts.

Select the Download link for the Sun Java™ System Identity Manager or Identity Auditor service pack of interest from the available list of downloads.

Review the License Agreement. You must accept the License Agreement to download the service pack.

Select the link for the service pack to begin the download.

On the server, change to the installation directory.

Create a directory named patches, and then change to that directory:

cd %WSHOME%\patches

Make sure the jar command is in the system path. The jar command is usually located in the Java SDK bin directory.

Unjar the downloaded service pack jar file:

jar –xvf ServicePackName

This creates a new directory which contains:

gateway.zip – Gateway service pack file

ServicePackName.README – The readme file containing instructions for installing the service pack.

An installation package or a jar file to be installed or placed on the server.

Installing Service Packs

Follow the steps outlined in the readme file to install the service pack contents. The readme also contains a list of features and fixes included in the service pack.
