APM 10.5.2 SP1

[Deployment Instructions]

IMPORTANT NOTES:
***************

1. This service pack is for both agent and server side patches.

2. If you have any pre-10.5.2 version installed you cannot use this script, use
the 10.5.2 product installer to upgrade.

3. If you have 10.5.2 GA version (10.5.2.15) or higher installed , you have 2 options:

a) Use the product installer to upgrade
Remember, any customization done earlier needs to be manually merged
after the installation. Depending of your implementation this can be
a complex process with many steps.

b) (Recommended) Use this script to apply "10.5.2 SP1"
Please note that APM10.5.2.22XHF.jar is not intended to perform
an upgrade of the complete product, it only replaces the affected
jars. The rest of the product files remain intact at the original release number.
This process is simple and should take a few minutes only.

4. To install the patches on the Agent, please download and use the corresponding 10.5.2 SP1 Agent bundles.

5. For the list of fixes in this Hotfix, refer to the below [Fixed Issues]
section

HOW TO RUN THE HOTFIX SCRIPT:
****************************
1. This hotfix script (APM10.5.2.22XHF.jar) updates the following product components: Enterprise Manager, WebView,
Workstation

2. Stop:
-Enterprise Manager (MOM/collector)
-Webview
-Workstation

NOTE: individual components that are installed together can be also patched
in one go, for example, EM, Webview and APMSQLSERVER

3. Copy APM10.5.2.22XHF.jar to the HOME directory of the product components you would like to apply the hotfix.
For example, if WebView is installed separately, run the hotfix script from that WebView HOME directory.

4. Execute
If windows: jre\bin\java -jar APM10.5.2.22XHF.jar
If unix: jre/bin/java -jar APM10.5.2.22XHF.jar

NOTE: Make sure to run the script using the appropriate user credentials.

5. Verify the results:

>> Hotfix 10.5.2-HF5 was applied successfully. (Note: 10.5.2-HF5 is equivalent to 10.5.2 SP1)

If the HF script fails for some reason with the below message, the script will automatically rollback
the changes. Open a support case and attach the hotfix.log file.

>> Hotfix 10.5.2-HF5 was rolled back successfully

6. Start:
Enterprise Manager (MOM/collector)
