Roll-up Patches included in InfoSphere Information Server, Version 8.1 Fix Pack 2

For convenience, we have collected tables of the roll-up patches which are included in Fix Pack 2. These are listed using the patch name which will appear in the Version.xml file, to make it easier to identify which of your patches are included. The individual APARs will still appear in the tables below.
