Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: IIS binaries are not updated with a * * fixpack. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** When applying a fixpack for Plugin to a Windows implementation using the IIS webserver the IIS_webserver??/ folder locations don't get the proper binary updates.
Problem conclusion
This fix will convert all of the Plugin IIS_Webserver??/iisWASPlugin_http.dll hard copies to symbolic links to either the /bin/32bits/iisWASPlugin_http.dll or /bin/64bits/iisWASPlugin_http.dll files. This will eliminate the need to copy files to these sub folders as fixes are installed. The fix for this APAR is targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.18 & 9.0.5.6.
