Note 1: For service refresh 6, you must download IZ62667 and IZ63956. The Java6.sdk fileset level 6.0.0.150 contains corrupted files for both installp and bff or ptf formats. IZ63956 contains a replacement Java6.sdk fileset at level 6.0.0.152. All the other filesets in IZ62667 can be used.


All fixes are available separately from Fix Central by selecting these options:

  • Product Group: System p
  • Product: AIX
  • Version: Select your operating system version
  • Fix type: Fix search

Search for fixes using the APAR number shown in the table.

Are fixes cumulative?

Typically, APARs are not cumulative, because each APAR corresponds to fixes for a subset of Java6 filesets. Different APARs can have different subsets of Java6 filesets. However, the individual Java6 filesets will contain cumulative fixes. Check the version.release.modification.fix (vrmf) number to compare fileset levels. For example, the fixes in fileset 6.0.0.75 contain or supercede the fixes delivered in fileset 6.0.0.50 and below.

How do I know if I have installed the latest code?

There are different ways to determine the level of code on your system:

  • You can check and compare the build date of your Java installation by using the command: /usr/java6/jre/bin/java -fullversion
  • You can check to see if a particular APAR is installed on your system by using the command: instfix -ivk APAR_NUMBER
  • You can check the Java6 filesets installed on your system by using the command: lslpp -L | grep Java6. The list produced by this command might show filesets that are optional, such as java6.samples or java6.source. The java6.sdk fileset is the only fileset you need.
