V5.1.1 Cumulative Fix 11, the update process may hang and the user may
manually stop the process. When the update is attempted again it fails.

When the user tries to run the uninstall in an attempt to remove a
partially installed update, the following message is displayed in the GUI
wizard:

Review of the event.history file may show the successful start of the
Cumulative fix update, but may be truncated before it is supposed to show
a successful closure of the update.
An example from the event.history file, showing the start of the
update:
backup-name="/opt/WebSphere/AppServer/properties/version/backup/20060630_193134_PQ97083_acwa_undo.jar"
start-time-stamp="2006-06-30T15:31:34-04:00"
end-time-stamp="2006-06-30T15:31:34-04:00"
result="succeeded"
result-message="Successful uninstall">
</update-event>
</update-event>
<update-event
event-type="ptf"
id="was511_cf11_linux"
From the event.history, the end of the update:
<update-event
event-type="component"
parent-id="was511_cf11_linux"
id="idl"
is-custom="false"
primary-content="update.jar"
update-action="install"
update-type="replace"
is-ext
Note that there is no closing to the update-event or to the event-history
XML tags to end the file.
