Why and when to perform this task
Occasionally, WebSphere Application Server offers updates to its software in the form of fixpacks. Some of these fixpacks might include an updated version of Cloudscape. You have the option to continue using your current level of Cloudscape if you want to. (It is not, however, recommended that you return to a lower level of Cloudscape if a fixpack has overwritten your current one.)
About the Cloudscape versions included with WebSphere Application Server 5.0.2 and 5.1
Cloudscape 5.0 database is shipped with Websphere Application Server 5.0.2. It is a required part of Websphere Application Server and is used for samples, the default application and is required for installation of cumulative fixes. With fixpack 2 (5.0.2), Cloudscape 5.0 and 5.1 were shipped. Cloudscape 5.1 is a fully functionally version of the Cloudscape database and is supported in a production environment with the fixpack 2. Cloudscape is installed in its own subdirectory. You should not remove these directories, even if you are not planning on directly using Cloudscape.
