APAR status Closed as program error. Error description Added functionality to the update installer to check ifixes that are part of the service pack being applied, and to check the clesses directory for test files (any files) which could possibly interfere with the the user is about to performLocal fix Problem summary **************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All WebSphere Application Server V5.x * * customers using the update installer to * * apply service packs to their Application * * Server install * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The current update installer for v5 * * was not providing the user with enough * * information to warn them about some * * possible problems they might * * experience because of things they * * currently have on their system * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** Users were not being informed of a number of things that could happen, by them applying the service pack they are applying 1) Users with ifixes on their install were not being informed that by applying the service pack they would/could be losing functionality those fixes were providing 2) Users with test files (or any files) in their classes directory, were not being informed that the files in there could interfere with the install they are currently doingProblem conclusion A new panel was added to provide the user with some needed information about what could happen by them updating their product. The new panel informs the user if they have any files in their classes directory, that those files could possibly interfere with the install. Since many users keep test files in their classes directory. Lastly, if the users has any ifixes installed on their system, and none/some of the ifixes are not part of the service pack being applied, then the user will be informed that by applying the service pack you will loose any functionality the select ifixes were providing. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fixpack 5.02.10 and 5.1.1.3.
