RECOMMENDATION: Users must install the iFix IFPH44554 at the same time as the offering for APPCLIENT 855.21. For example, using the imcl command line utility, users would provide both the com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v85 offering along with the iFix offering after the * ¢â?¬ ?install ¢â?¬â?¢ action. Example Linux: imcl install com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v85 8.5.5.21-WS-AppClient-MultiOS-IFPH44554 --acceptlicense -prompt -repositories , Example Windows: imcl install com.ibm.websphere.APPCLIENT.v85 8.5.5.21-WS-AppClient-WinX3264-IFPH44554 -acceptlicense -prompt -repositories , Using the Installation Manager GUI, users can select the APPCLIENT offering on the offering screen and then select IFPH44554 on the subsequent screen. User's cannot install or update AppClient to version 855.21. IFPH44554 remedies the issue if it is installed in the same invocation as the 855.21 offering. PROBLEM CONCLUSION: The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 855.22. In the mean time iFix IFPH44554 can be installed along with the AppClient offering to circumvent the issue on 855.21.
