Directions to apply fix:  

1) Create temporary "Fix" directory to store this APAR's zip/tar file:

             AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/Fix

    Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/Fix

         Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\Fix


2) Copy the jar/zip/tar file to the directory

3) If a zip file, unzip in that directory. If a tar file, untar the file.

4) Shutdown WebSphere

5) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:

   java -jar <jarfile name> -TargetDir <your WAS_HOME directory, e.g. c:\WebSphere\AppServer for example>
   
   (Alternatively, you can skip the -TargetDir option, and the Fix will prompt for the value)

   NOTE: To update the V4 Unit Test Environment in Version 5 of WebSphere Studio Application
     Developer (WSAD), you will specify <WSAD>/runtimes/aes_v4 as the "WAS_HOME" 
     directory.

6) Restart WebSphere

7) The temp directory may be removed but the zip/tar file should be saved.  Do not remove
   any files created and stored in the <WAS_HOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/Fix/PQ77023 directories.
   These files are required if a Fix is to be removed.




Directions to remove fix:  

NOTE:  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) Change directory to the Fix location (<WAS_HOME>/WebSphere/AppServer/Fix/PQ77023).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:

   java -jar PQ77023_Fix_backup.jar

4) Restart WebSphere




Directions to re-apply fix:  

Follow the instructions for applying a Fix.  If the backup files still exist (from the
previous Fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.  Answer "yes" at the overwrite
prompts.
