Question & Answer


Question

IBM JAVA FOR AIX Reference: Service Refresh Download Removal Notification

Answer


The selected fix has been removed from the download/fixcentral due to a last minute and urgent / emergency fix needing to be applied.

IBM is working hard to build implement the fix, rebuild the update, test it, and have it republished as quickly as possible.

We apologize for the inconvenience, but hope you understand that IBM would rather remove the update rather than leave it out for customers to download, install and introduce unnecessary risks to our client's systems.

If you have previously downloaded this Service Refresh (SR), please do not install it. However, if you already installed this Service Refresh update, please uninstall, to go back to the previous level. Depending on Service Refresh (SR) update was installed in "APPLY" or "COMMIT" mode, the install can either be rejected or the whole Java version has to be uninstalled and reinstalled to get back to previous level. Check the output of command "lslpp -hac | grep -i java" to detemine the install mode of the Service Refresh. For "APPLY" mode installs, in smitty, select "Reject Applied Software Updates (Use Previous Version)" to get back to the previous level. If in commit mode, refer to the "HowTo/FAQ" section in URL below to uninstall and reinstall to get back to the previous level:
