Problem

- Unable to install B2Bi / Integrator on AIX 6.1 TL6 SP12 to AIX 6.1 TL9 SP2.
- SP upgrade results into following error

ERROR  :<date/time>:cfgserver(cfgembed(cfgmbc_systemporter)):SL_FILEIO.CreateTextWrite: failed to open file "/Axway/B2Bi/Axway/Synchrony/Integrator/data/porter/porter.mem": File exists
ERROR  :<date/time>:cfgserver(cfgembed(cfgmbc_systemporter)):failed to prepare task 'HPCNSWDBUA_SystemPorterTask': SL_FILEIO.CreateTextWrite: failed to open file "/Axway/B2Bi/Axway/Synchrony/Integrator/data/porter/porter.mem": File exists
 

Resolution

(a) Set the environment variable permanently i.e. it should remain enabled all the time. The aixfopen.so files are attached.

On 32 bits:

ALWAYS “export LDR_PRELOAD=/complete/path/aixfopen.so”
 
PLEASE DO NOT RUN ANYTHING IF THE VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED
 
On 64 bits:
 
ALWAYS “export LDR_PRELOAD64=/complete/path/aixfopen.so”
 
PLEASE DO NOT RUN ANYTHING IF THE VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED
 
 
(b) Re-install B2Bi/Integrator with relevant Service Pack from the scratch
