Installation Manager deployed all of the files for the interim fix. Following the readme file in the interim fix, use either Tivoli's process automation suite configuration tool (ConfigUI) tool to update the database and rebuild and redeploy the ear files, or do these tasks manually. The example here uses the ConfigUI tool.
Again, following the interim fix readme file, complete all required manual steps before updating the database and rebuilding and redeploying the application EAR files. The Readme.zip archive includes a spreadsheet called ListofAPARs.xslx. In that file, in the Manual Changes column, locate Required Manual Steps. After completing required changes, launch the ConfigUI tool. (Windows: ConfigUI.exe; Linux: ./ConfigUI)
Next, start the configuration program:
Windows: Use Start > Programs > Tivoli's process automation suite > Configuration Program (default location C:\IBM\SMP\ConfigTool\ConfigUI.exe)
UNIX: In the <installLocation>/ConfigTool directory run ConfigUI, for example, /opt/IBM/SMP/ConfigTool/ConfigUI

In the Deployment Operations pane, click Update Database, Build and Deploy Application EAR Files. Click Finish.

Click Finish. The Config tool will execute all selected tasks. Take note of status and error messages scrolling at the bottom of the Configuration View Console pane.

The Config tool has completed its tasks. It has updated the database, rebuilt and redeployed the ear files, and started the Maximo application server. Log in to Maximo and check System Information:

*If you do not shut it down, the Configuration Tool might display an error that the process automation engine (=Maximo application server) is running and that it must be shut down manually:

Click OK.

To resolve this error, log in to the Application Server console and stop the Maximo server.
