WCS V7 Feature Pack 2 Upgrade

Posted by Unknown on
I was trying to install WebSphere Commerce Developer Feature Pack 2 with Installation Manager, but I was running into following error:
Package IBM WebSphere Commerce Developer Feature Pack 2.0.0.0 and Rational Application developer for Websphere software 7.5.5.1 cannot coexist in the same package group.

After days of struggle, I finally got enlightened after reading through following link and realized the linkage between fix pack and feature pack upgrades.
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wchelp/v7r0m0/topic/com.ibm.commerce.admin.doc/concepts/cwnfixpksumv7.htm

In summary, the dependency for WCS V7 feature pack upgrades on V7 Fix Packs is as follows.
V7 feature pack 2 -> Dependent on V7 fix pack 2
V7 feature pack 3 -> Dependent on V7 fix pack 3
V7 feature pack 4 -> Dependent on V7 fix pack 5

Please do ensure you are at the right fix pack level before upgrading to a feature pack.

Sequence of Installation using Installation Manager for upgrading to V7 Feature Pack 2:
1. RAD 7.5.4
2. RAD 7.5.5
3. RAD 7.5.5.1 (Not a mandatory step, you can directly upgrade RAD to any level above 7.5.5)
4. WAS Test 7.0
5. WAS Test 7.0.0.17 (Any level at / above 7.0.0.11 should be fine)
6. WCS V7 toolkit V7.0.0.0
7. WCS V7 Fix Pack 2 (WCS V7 fixpack enables support for V7 feature pack2, hence it is mandatory to upgrade to fix pack 2 before upgrading to feature pack 2.)
8. WCS V7 Feature Pack 2

    com.ibm.commerce.toolkit.internal.feature.enablement.AddModuleTask class is part of the ToolkitFeature.jar under location \SDP\configuration\org.eclipse.osgi\bundles\110\1\.cp. Inspect your version of ToolkitFeature.jar and see if it has logic to handle modulefile attribute. I am having 7.5.5.4 and my ToolkitFeature.jar has the required logic to handle modulefile attribute.
