4.2.5 Verify the Upgrade
Leave the LANSA DVD or CD-ROM loaded until the batch job completes execution.
If any EPCs are included with the install, they will be applied and the EPC log will be updated accordingly.
You may wish to use the IBM i command CHGMSGQ to change the nominated <message queue> to DLVRY(*BREAK) to receive any messages from the submitted job. For example:
CHGMSGQ DSP02 DLVRY(*BREAK)
Once the LANSA update job has completed, check the job's spooled file for the following:
- File: QPDSPMSG
- User Data: SUMMARYMSG and DETALMSG
and check for any errors.
The final message after a successful upgrade is:
****All selected LANSA components have successfully installed****
Retain the job log that results from the install for future reference regardless of whether the install message appears or not.
Once the LANSA upgrade batch job has been completed and if Initialization options have been selected, make sure the job LANSA_CLN is released. For details of LANSA_CLN, refer to Check LANSA_CLN.
Note: Regardless of whether the upgrade message appears or not, retain the job log that results from the upgrade for future reference.
Refer also to Verify Integrator Upgrade if appropriate.
If you did not not use QOTHPRDOWN as the product owner, you must perform the steps in QOTHPRDOWN Profile not used.
Upgrade failure
If you do not see the message:
****All selected LANSA components have successfully installed****
Read the job log that results from the upgrade to determine the reason for the upgrade's failure. When reading the job log, always read it backwards from the end. If you read it from the beginning, you cannot assume that the first error you see is the cause of the problem.
Restarting an upgrade
Under no circumstances should you restart the upgrade without first checking the job log produced for messages that clearly indicate whether you can restart it or not. You must follow the recovery/restart procedures that are printed at the end of the upgrade job log.
