In this whitepaper, Omar Siliceo illustrates a generic method to apply IBM WebSphere Portal Cumulative Fixes. The installation of a cumulative fix is carried out in two major stages. During the first stage, the actual code for the Cumulative Fix is deployed on the Portal nodes and the master Portal Profile. Once the code is in place, the second stage can initiate. During the latter, each of the additional WebSphere Profiles is upgraded to the Cumulative Fix by using the ConfigEngine tool.
The whitepaper follows the following road map:
1. Access Reference Document
2. Cumulative Fix ID
3. Cumulative Fix System Requirements
4. Cumulative Fix Distribution Acquisition
5. Cumulative Fix Content Extraction
6. Cumulative Fix Pre-Installation Tasks
7. Cumulative Fix Installation
