Alright.
Use the information from above to get to the "Recommended fixes" page,
and the "Version 6.1" table.
Then click on the "Windows" link for Fix Pack 25.
Yes, I know what I'm doing... :-)
Scroll down to the "download package" table to find the line that starts with:
"32-bit x86 AMD/Intel AppServer".
Hover over the "FTP" link, right click, and "copy link address" (or whatever term your browser uses for this function).
Paste the address into the "address" portion of your browser, but DON"T HIT ENTER.
Remove the end of the URL after cumulative, leaving you with this address:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com
Now you can press enter to see which Fix Packs exist.
Select the link you want (i.e., cf61017)
Then click the "WinX32" link
Now you get to decide what needs to be updated.
Certainly the AppServer code, so you are going to have to save:
6.1.0-WS-WAS-WinX32-FP0000
and the associated Java software development kit
6.1.0-WS-WASSDK-WinX32-FP0
What web server are you using?
If you are using the IBM HTTP Server (IHS), you are going to also need
6.1.0-WS-IHS-WinX32-FP0000
and you are also going to need the plugin code updated as well, so
6.1.0-WS-PLG-WinX32-FP0000
If you also use the Application Client (AppClient), you'll also want
6.1.0-WS-AppClient-WinX32-
ok, the 6.1.0.17 update installer (UPDI) program is available from here:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com
So, the steps to use:
- Retrieve the UPDI zip file
- Expand (unzip) it to some temporary directory
- Execute the install program
Note: This install program installs the UPDI program, not the AppServer updates.
Specify the destination directory as being a sibling directory of AppServer.
For example, it will be under D:\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateIns
- After the UPDI is installed, you can delete the UPDI zip file, and the temporary directory containing the expanded contents
- Copy all of the *.pak files retrieved above to the maintenance subdirectory under UpdateInstaller (e.g, D:\IBM\WebSphere\UpdateIns
- Stop all of the AppServer processes (don't forget to stop the Web Server)
- Execute the "update" program in the UpdateInstaller directory, and use it to
-- Update the AppServer & SDK
-- Update the web server (if you are using IHS)
-- Update the plugin
... and any/all other components that you need to update.
Does this help?

- Click on the "Download" link (in the blue box to the right of center)
- Click on the "Recommended fixes" link
- Click on the link for the version of interest (e.g., "Version 6.1")
This takes you to a table that has the current information about what fixpack/cumulative fix is current.
I STRONGLY encourage you to install at least 6.1.0.23!
Better yet, go to 6.1.0.25, and when 6.1.0.27 comes out, go to it.
To actually perform the update, you are going to have to look for the line in the table that starts with "V7.0 Update Installer". Yes, the V 7.0 Update Installer can be used to install 6.1 and 7.0 updates. However, to install 6.1.0.21 onward requires this installer. If you insist on only upgrading to 6.1.0.17, let me know, and I'll also find the right update installer program for you.
Scrolling to the bottom of this table you will find a line that states:
For a complete listing of fixes for version 6.1, see the "Fix list for V6.1"
Click on the "Fix list for V6.1" link to see just how many fixes have been shipped for version 6.1 of the product! Hundreds!
If you really, really need 6.1.0.17, let me know, and I'll find it for you. I'll need to know what Operating System is being used (e.g., Aix, Linux, Windows), and whether it is 32 or 64 bit system.
