Update command - known problems and workarounds

This topic describes known problems and issues associated with the Update Installer for WebSphere® Software program.

The update installer program displays its version information in the title bar of the graphical interface. Version information is stored in the version.txt file in the updateinstaller directory.

A new version might ship to correspond to any new fix. Information in the version.txt file is displayed prominently in the title bar of the wizard and is also recorded in the updatelog.txt file.

Always download and use the latest version of the Update installer wizard when installing an interim fix.

The Update Installer can not automatically detect locks on files by remote processes. So you must ensure that all AppServers processes have been stopped for all your profiles, including any remote profiles.

If the WebSphere Application Server product installed is 32-bit, apply the 32-bit version of the fixpack. Similarly, if a 64-bit version of WebSphere Application Server product is installed, install a 64-bit fixpack.

Do not attempt to unzip or unpack the *.pak file. If your browser changes the download package from *.pak file to *.zip, do not attempt to unzip the package. Instead, rename the file to *.pak and proceed to the next step without unzipping the renamed *.pak file. For more information, see the article, UpdateInstaller for version 6.0 or 6.1 is unable to install or uninstall fix due to a ".pak.zip" file extension.
