WebSphere Commerce 6.0.0.3 Fix Pack

IBM released WebSphere Commerce 6.0.0.3 Fix Pack on 8/22/2007. 

It has been only a couple of days since it was released. We are in no big hurry to install the fixpack in our environment. That is the case with most environments that are in production or in advanced development stage. But if you are just getting started it helps to start the environments at the latest fix pack level. Most people may have already installed fix pack 6.0.0.2 particularly if they are using Feature Pack 2 in their environment.

Here are the details about the fix pack:

  1. Download it form here.
  2. You will need update installer 6.1.0.5. If you installed fix packs 6.0.0.2, you probably used installer version 6.1.0.4. Version 6.1.0.5 of the update installer can be downloaded from here.
  3. The master technote as well as the updates list may show you some reasons why you will need this fix pack.
  4. If you are curious about the files that may have changed - here is the list. It might be a good idea to go through this list to find out what files changed particularly those under Stores.war. You probably touched these files for your application.

Finally here is the installation guide. This installation guide helps in reminding yourself to take the backup of the commerce profile as well as to apply the fixpack to both the commerce installation as well as the commerce instance.
