Domino for i5/OS: 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1

Lotus Domino 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 (FP1) for i5/OS is now available to address issues with the IBM Lotus Domino 7.0.2 server. On i5/OS, 7.0.2 FP1 is packaged and installed as PTF 5733LD7 V7R0M2 FP70201.

This document explains where to obtain and how to apply Lotus Domino 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 (FP1) for i5/OS. For additional information on Domino 7.0.2 FP1, see:

7.0.2 FP1 Release Notice Information about Lotus Domino 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 Lotus Domino 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 Is Available
Prerequisites
  • IBM Product 5733LD7 V7R0M2 - Domino 7.0.2 for i5/OS
  • Domino for i5/OS 7.0.2 FP1 is language independent and can be installed on any language version.
What do you need to know before installing a Fix Pack
Administrators need to take into account several things when deciding to install a Fix Pack:
  • See what fixes are included in each Fix Pack - Check the listing of fixes available in each Fix Pack at the Lotus developerWorks Web site.

  • Assess previously-applied hotfixes - Many customers have applied one, or several, "hotfixes" to a particular release of Lotus Notes/Domino. In order to apply the latest Fix Pack, previously-applied hotfixes must be uninstalled prior to installing the Fix Pack. Fix Packs may, or may not, include fixes that were previously made available as hotfixes. The stability of a Fix Pack is much preferred over hotfixes, and replacing earlier hotfixes with a Fix Pack is a good decision.
    1. Determine whether any hotfixes are currently installed on your system for 7.0.2.
      Use the i5/OS CL command:
      DSPPTF LICPGM(5733LD7) RLS(V7R0M2)
    2. Cross-check Fix Pack against hotfixes - Compare the list of SPRs addressed by the Fix Pack against the SPRs addressed by your hotfixes. In many cases, the Fix Pack will provide the same solutions as the hotfixes. If you have hotfixes that are not in 7.0.2 FP1, the Domino Administrator must assess the relative importance of applied hotfixes versus applying a new Fix Pack. Hotfixes for 7.0.2 may not be applied to 7.0.2 FP1.

      In cases where a previous hotfix is not included in a Fix Pack, you will need to contact Lotus support prior to installing 7.0.2 FP1 to request a new hotfix that can be applied on 7.0.2 FP1.

      When it is time to install 7.0.2 FP1, proceed with "Install 7.0.2 FP1".

Install 7.0.2 FP1
  1. Remove any 7.0.2 hot fixes:
    Domino 7.0.2 FP1 can only be installed on systems running Domino for i5/OS (Product 5733LD7 option 12). You may use the DSPSFWRSC command to verify Domino for i5/OS 7.0.2 is installed.

    If you have applied any Domino for i5/OS 7.0.2 hot fixes, they must be removed before applying this 7.0.2 FP1 PTF. Hot fixes must be removed in a specific order. The hot fixes should be removed in reverse order of install order. Example - the last hot fix installed, must be removed first.

    Remember to end all Domino servers prior to removing any hotfix PTFs.

    To determine whether any hotfixes are currently installed on your system for 7.0.2, use the i5/OS CL command:
    DSPPTF LICPGM(5733LD7) RLS(V7R0M2)

    To determine the order that the PTFs were installed, do the following:
    For each PTF listed:

    1. Choose option 5=Display PTF details
    2. Then, option 1. General information
    3. On the "General Information" screen, the "Optional part" equals "0012" for 7.0.2 SPRs.
    4. Write down the PTF number and Status date/time.

    If any 7.0.2 hotfixes are installed, you must remove each hotfix from the system before applying the 7.0.2 FP1 PTF. Using the Status date/time from previous step, remove PTFs starting with the most recent PTF installed towards the first PTF installed for the 7.0.2 release.

    Use the command:
    RMVPTF LICPGM(5733LD7) SELECT(ptf-number) RMV(*PERM)

  2. Install 7.0.2 FP1
    1. Download the file C97GIEN.EXE to a PC and extract the contents. The file is available from Lotus Domino 7.0.2 Fix Pack 1 Is Available.
    2. Create a save file on the iSeries server.
      Note: You must have an i5/OS user profile in order to transfer the file to the i5/OS server. See your system administrator if you cannot proceed with this step.
      Sign on to the iSeries server with a profile that has command line capabilities and user class of *SECOFR. Use the following command to create a SAVF:
      CRTSAVF FILE(QGPL/QFP70201)
    3. Transfer the binary save file from the PC to the iSeries server.
      NOTE: These instructions assume the binary save file was extracted to the root directory of the PC's C:\ drive. You may need to adjust the instructions depending on the actual location of the file.
      On the PC, enter the following commands and responses, when prompted:
      ftp [your i5/OS system name or IP address]
      Name:[Enter your i5/OS user profile name and press enter]
      Password:[Enter your i5/OS password and press enter]
      ftp>binary
      Representation type is binary IMAGE.
      ftp>put [C]:\QFP70201.SAVF QGPL/QFP70201
      ftp>quit
    4. End any active Domino servers.
      To end any active Domino servers, enter the following command:
      WRKDOMSVR
      Use option 6 (End Domino server) on this display to end all active Domino servers. Wait until all servers are ended.
    5. Load and apply the 7.0.2 FP1 PTF
      Enter the following commands to load and apply the PTF:
      LODPTF LICPGM(5733LD7) DEV(*SAVF) SELECT(FP70201) SAVF(QGPL/QFP70201)
      APYPTF LICPGM(5733LD7) SELECT(FP70201)
    6. Install any new hotfixes received from Lotus support for 7.0.2 FP1
    7. Restart Domino servers.
