Pre-installation Considerations
It is important that this patch, as with any other, be test thoroughly on a
development or QA system prior to being put in to production.
Some manual changes are needed to complete the fixes done by this patch. These changes needs to be done after the patch installation. Please refer to section 6, 7 and 8 from the Table of Contents to see what is needed in your environment.
Linux revision of this patch updates the "rpms" using "--repackage" option for the "rpm" command. This option
is suppose to keep a copy of original rpms before upgrading to new one and original rpms can be restored from that copy. Linux revision of this patch ships a
a script
remove which can be used to restore orginal rpms. It is similar to
patchrm on solaris. However for now, this script doesn't work if the portal is installed in a non default location
because of bugs in rpm utility itself. This script has been tested on RedHat version AS 2.1 with rpm version 4.0.4.
Other versions may see different issues when using this script to restore the original rpms.
If the script fails with errors and the rpms are not restored, original rpms will have to be manually install.
After installing the original rpms "remove" script needs to be executed again to ensure that postbackout changes are complete.

Installation Instructions
- If the Portal Server installation contains
more than one node including any mixture of platform
nodes, Portal proxy nodes, and gateway nodes, then
then
must be applied on the
primary platform node first, then each additional platform
node as well. The patch must also be applied to
any installed proxy and gateway nodes following completion of
application to prior nodes.
-
can be used by different audiences and needs to be applied at different stages for different audiences.
-
1. For New customers of Portal Server 6.3.1,
patch needs to be applied after completing Portal Server 6.3.1 installation.
-
2. For existing Portal Server 6.3 customers, who are upgrading to Portal Server 6.3.1,
patch must be applied after installing the new packages for PortalServer 6.3.1
but before running the upgrade scripts, upgradePS04Q205Q1 or upgradeSRA-04Q4-05Q1.
New packages are installed using different patches for different platforms. Please refer to Portal Server Upgrade Document HERE for more information on installing new packages.
Access Manager upgrade is required before upgrading Portal Server
- Running different release levels on different nodes is
highly discouraged and not supported by Sun. Each node
must be upgraded to the same revision in the order previously
outlined.

Tips for Customizing Templates
Because the Portal Server itself is so customizable, you should follow some precautions
to insure that any customizations made to the Portal Server are preserved after
a product upgrade. First, set up a customized template directory
if you have not already done so. While this directory could be an entire subset of the default
template directory, it is advisable to only copy over those template files that you will be
customizing. This particular scheme would then use the default directory as a 'base' for all templates
and would help insure that customized templates are not accidentally overwritten when the default
templates are modified.
NOTE: Files in the default template directory should should
never be customized.
To create a customized template directory:
|
- Create a directory at the same level as the /etc/opt/SUNWps/desktop/default/ on Solaris, or
/etc/opt/sun/portal/desktop/default on Linux, with
a new name such as mytemplates. In that directory, only copy the templates you need to
modify in their proper directories. The other templates will be retrieved as needed from the default directory
using Portal's own filelookup mechanism.
- Edit the templates in the mytemplates directory according to your own preference.
- Log into the administration console.
- Select the appropriate services configuration screen. Fox example, select View: Services to administrate the
desktop service globally. Alternately, select an organization, and then View: Services to administrate the
desktop service for that organization only.
- Expand the link next to Desktop under the Portal Server Configuration subheading on the left view pane
- Modify the Desktop Type field located on the right view pane from default to mytemplates.
- Select Save
|
|
As a general rule of thumb, avoid modifying templates that have only a functional purpose
rather than a look and feel purpose. One example of a template that should not need
modifications is the NetletProvider/display.template . This template contains only JavaScript
necessary for the launching of the Netlet. The contents of the Netlet Pop-up window should instead
be customized by modifying the associated .properties file. The reason for this is that there
could be a functional change in the product that would overwrite a customization done specifically to that
particular template file. This example also exhibits why it is important to only keep customized
files in the customized template directory.

Customizing "amtune" to use "perftune"
For this release, perftune has been changed to use amtune.
Unfortunately there are some problems with amtune which require patches from the Access Manager team for amtune to work effectively.
The patchids for fixes for amtune for solaris_sparc, solaris_x86 platforms are 119259-01 and 119260-01 respectively.
For solaris_sparc this can also be fixed by applying the following workaround
to amtune. Please follow the steps below to customize amtune to work properly with perftune after installing the Required Patch.
NOTE:
(In each step substitute your actual base path if you did not
choose the default during installation.)
- Edit /opt/SUNWam/bin/amtune/amtune-as8.
Find the line:
$ECHO $ASADMIN_PASSWORD > $ASADMIN_PASSFILE
and change it to:
$ECHO "ASADMIN_PASSWORD=$ASADMIN_PASSWORD" > $ASADMIN_PASSFILE
- Edit /opt/SUNWam/bin/amtune/amtune-env.
Find the line:
ASADMIN=$CONTAINER_BASE_DIR/bin/asadmin
and change it to:
ASADMIN=/opt/SUNWappserver/appserver/bin/asadmin
