5.5 Process solution package installation

Process solutions are versioned software components. The process solution installation programs support a variety of software life cycle operations that may be applied against process solutions.

A process solution package is a self-contained ZIP file of installation artifacts and deployment logic that can be deployed using the process solution installation program. Installation artifacts are the files and content that are installed into your Maximo environment to enable the services management functionality of the Process Manager Product or Integration Module. The deployment logic are the actions that are carried out in order to deploy the process solution into the Maximo environment. Typically, these actions include building and deploying J2EE applications, running database scripts that load the process solution content into the Maximo database, and adding users and groups for security. Additionally, optional sample data can be installed.

The Base Install operation installs and deploys a new process solution into your Maximo environment. Once installed, a process solution may be updated in several ways.

The process solution installation programs are able to process the following package types:

￿Base Install Package - Required to install a new process solution using the Base Install operation.

￿Incremental Update Package - Required when performing an Upgrade operation.

￿Fix Package - Required when applying an interim fix to a process solution.

￿Full Update Package - Used to perform a Base Install operation if no instance of the process solution is currently installed or it may be used to perform an Upgrade operation on a currently installed process solution. The process solution installation programs ensure that the appropriate package type is processed for any given operation.

5.5.1Pre-Process solution package installation checklist

When you perform a deployment operation using the process solution installation program, you are running actions that modify the configuration and content of your J2EE, database, and directory middleware servers. The following steps should be reviewed before invoking the process solution installation program.
