Abstract
After upgrading to IBM® Web Content Management 6.0.1.1 or 6.0.0.4, there are several important fixes (interim fixes or iFixes) that should be applied on top of the cumulative fixes for each respective version. These fixes are the most critical to maintaining a successful Web Content Management solution.

Not applying the following fixes will leave IBM® Web Content Management customers exposed to some critical known issues.
