Upgrading to 6.1.0.31 or higher will also resolve the problem. Directions to apply fix: Fix applies to Editions: Release 6.1 _X Application Server (Express or BASE) _X Network Deployment (ND) __ WebSphere Business Integration Server Foundation (WBISF) __ Edge Components _X Developer __ Extended Deployment (XD) Install Fix to: Method: __ Application Server Nodes __ Deployment Manager Nodes _X Both NOTE: The user must: * Log on to the iSeries system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities. * Be at V6.1.0.19 or newer of the Update Installer. Certain iFixes may require a newer version of the Update Installer and the Update Installer will inform you during the installation process if a newer version is required. This can be checked by reviewing the level of the Update Installer in file /updateinstaller/version.txt. The Update Installer can be downloaded from the following link: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg21205991 Note that there are two different methods for delivering iFixes, depending on the contents. The fix may be delivered either as a single file with a .pak extension (such as 6.1.0.11-WS-WAS-IFPK12345.pak) or a single file with a .zip extension (such as 6.1.0.11-WS-WAS-IFPK12345.zip) which then contains one or more files with a .pak extension. 1) If your iFix is delivered as a single file with a .pak extension, copy the .pak file directly to the /maintenance directory, where is the root directory of your Update Installer installation. 2) Shutdown WebSphere 3) Verify that the host server jobs are started on your iSeries server. The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on iSeries. Enter this command on a CL command line: STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL) 4) Copy the response file /response/install.txt. Next,edit your copy of the response file as described in the response file to: * input the product install location that will be updated * input the full path and filename of the maintenance package to be installed 5) Change directories to the directory and use the update command to install the maintenance package. For example, if you copied the install.txt file to /responsefiles/myresponse file, then invoke the update command as follows: update -options responsefiles/myresponsefile 6) Restart WebSphere Directions to remove fix: NOTE: Log on to the iSeries system with a user profile that has *ALLOBJ and *SECADM special authorities. * FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED * DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED * YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX Example: If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied. 1) Shutdown WebSphere 2) Verify that the host server jobs are started on your iSeries server. The host server jobs allow the installation code to run on iSeries. Enter this command on a CL command line: STRHOSTSVR SERVER(*ALL) 3) Copy the response file /response/uninstall.txt. Next,edit your copy of the response file as described in the response file to: * input the maintenance backup package filename to be uninstalled * input the product install location that will be updated 4) Change directories to the directory and use the update command to uninstall the maintenance package. For example, if you copied the uninstall.txt file to /responsefiles/myresponse file, then invoke the update command as follows: update -options responsefiles/myresponsefile 5) Restart WebSphere Directions to re-apply fix: 1) Shutdown WebSphere Application Server. 2) Follow the Fix instructions to apply the fix. 3) Restart WebSphere Application Server.
