APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• In WebSphere Application Server 6.1.0.21 and later, when a
  server has started, in the "Start Display Current Environment"
  section of the SystemOut.log, the output of
  Detailed IFix information may not report correct interim fixes
  applied.
  
  It is not reliable to use this information to determine which
  fixes are installed on your WebSphere Application Server
  installation and it is recommended that the command line tool
  versionInfo or historyInfo be used.
  

Local fix

• Use the command line tools that come with WebSphere Application
  Server instead of relying on the ifix output in the logs:
  
  versionInfo.sh (or versionInfo.bat)
  
  or
  
  historyInfo.sh (or historyInfo.bat)
