Abstract
A comprehensive list of recommended, generally available (GA) fixes for IBM WebSphere Application Server releases.

Fix Packs are cumulative. When a prerequisite or co-requisite Fix Pack is recommended, that specific Fix Pack or a later Fix Pack may be applied. For example: if Fix Pack 6.0.2.17 is required, applying Fix Pack 6.0.2.17, 6.0.2.19, 6.0.2.21 or a later Fix Pack is valid.

Tables are organized by version in the order they were released.
