ALM before 12.0


Issue: 

HP's certificate will expire Oct 21st.  Any new installations will be blocked by Windows due to an invalid cert. 


Solution:

The hotfix is bundled in the war file so all we have to do is replace the war file and restart the ALM service.  Should take less than 5 minutes.  Should install this before Oct 22nd.  

 

The zip file we need is located at the link below. 

ftp://almcert:-On%3DCG7gx@ftp.usa.hp.com/

If it asks for a password:

Username: almcert

Password: on=CG7gx

 Or email open another ticket and we will send a new FTP link to the files. 


Click on proper link to begin downloading the zip file.

 

ALM 11.0 patch 12 to patch 18:

1. Download the zip folder from the FTP mentioned below

2. Copy the zip file to a local folder on the ALM Server.

3. Stop the ALM Service.

4. Extract the zip file to the following path: <Deployment path>\HP\ALM\<application server name>\server\default\deploy\

E.g. the ALM default installation path is: Windows: C:\ProgramData\HP\ALM\jboss\server\default\deploy 

 

Note: The hotfix replaces files within the folder that contains the 20qbcin.war folder. Do not replace the files within Program Files.

5. Start the ALM service.
