PQ69813: THE PREREQS PAGE FOR WSAS4 FIXPAK 5 SAYS THE BRANDED DATADIRECT DRIVERS ARE INCLUDED, HOWEVER THEY ARE NOT.

APAR status
Closed as documentation error.

Error description
The pre-requisites page is inaccurate,
because it says the branded drivers are included.
The drivers must be downloaded from the download page, which
is currently:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&context=SSEQTP&q
=datadirect&uid=swg24001312
(this only has the 2.2 drivers currently)
Regarding the 3.1 drivers, I installed a test version we have,
and it will need to be published if fully tested.
Here is the inaccurate page link:

http://www-3.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v40/prereqs
/ae_v405.htm
It incorrectly says:
"IBM branded Data Direct Connect JDBC Driver 2.2 or
3.1(included)"
and should only say:
"IBM branded Data Direct Connect JDBC Driver 2.2 or 3.1"
Local fix
told customer that the page is inaccurate
