If needed, you may download maintenance releases (also known as
fix pack) for WebSphere® Application
Server .
They are located at the following Web site at
http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/was/support/.
The fix pack comes as an executable JAR file which can be invoked by typing
the following command:
java -jar fix_pack.jar
where
fix_pack is the name of the executable JAR file that was
downloaded from the Web.
Important: The java command
used to install the fix should be the same one that is included with this
product, or the same version of the JDK. If you use a later version of Java™ to
install the fix, for example JDK 1.4.2, there will be no installation errors
, but you may have problems with your application at runtime.
When
prompted for the target directory to which to apply the update information
from the update JAR file, type:
x:\runtimes\ server_namewhere
x is the directory path
where this product is installed and
server_name is the
server you are using. For example:
- express_v5 for WebSphere Application Server - Express
v5
- express_v51 for WebSphere Application Server - Express
v5.1
- base_v5 for WebSphere Application Server v5
- base_v51 for WebSphere Application Server v5.1
- ee_v5 for WebSphere Application Server Enterprise
Edition v5
- ee_v51 for WebSphere Application Server Enterprise
Edition v5.11
- base_v6 for WebSphere Application Server Enterprise
Edition v6
Important: When prompted to upgrade your JDK, type y for
Yes. When prompted to upgrade HTTP Server, Apache server or IPlanet, type n for
No.
