Directions to apply fix:  
        1. Open a console and direct it to the location of your iFix jar
        2. Run the command "java -jar 20012-wlp-archive-IFOLGH15315.jar". The following launch options
        are available for the jar:
        --installLocation [LibertyRootDir] by default the jar will look for a "wlp" directory
        in its current location. If your WebSphere Liberty install
        location is different to "wlp" and/or is not in the same
        directory as the jar then you can use this option to change
        where the jar will patch. [LibertyRootDir] can either be
        relative to the location of the jar or an absolute file path.
        --suppressInfo hides all messages other than confirming the
        patch has completed or error messages.
        3. Stop your WebSphere Liberty server(s).
        4. When you next start your WebSphere Liberty server(s), the fix will become active in your runtime.


Directions to remove fix:  
        1. You  will need to reinstate your previous installation.


Directions to re-apply fix:  
        1. Follow the instructions to apply the fix.
