The following information has been added to the 4.0.2 release
notes:
.
Apply FixPak 2 to a Version 4.0.1 installation and not just to
a Version 4.0 installation (PQ56267)
.
The README file providing instructions on installing FixPak 2
(PTF4.0.2) of WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 (4.0.2)
incorrectly state that you can apply the FixPak to a
WebSphere Application Server Version 4.0 or 4.0.1 installation.
You can only apply FixPak 2 to a Version 4.0.1 installation.
See the instructions in "Installing Version 4.0.2" above.
.
Author comment (not in rel notes): the install instructions in
the 4.0.2 relnotes tell users to install 4.0.1 first and do not
state that installing on top of 4.0 is okay.
Problem conclusion
Closing as a documentation change.
