Problem conclusion

• Note: We update our information centers monthly. The
  following Version 8.5 modifications will be available in the
  September 2012 update to the Information Centers. To access the
  latest on-line documentation, go to the product library page
  at http://www.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/library and
  select the version and product that is appropriate for your
  WebSphere Application Server environment.
  
  The following Version 8.5 issues will be addressed:
  
  ID: PM72402
  Problem:  In topic, Creating a fine-grained administrative
  authorization group using the administrative console, Step 6,
  associates a group to the new user role, and indicates that
  you should select the option EVERYONE if you want to select
  special subjects. However the option EVERYONE is not supported
  in Version 8.0 of WebSphere Application Server.
  
  Resolution:  References to the EVERYONE option will be removed
  from Step 6 of the topic, Creating a fine-grained
  administrative authorization group using the administrative
  console.
  
  This update also applies to the Versions 8.0 information
  center.
  ------------
  ID: 739255
  Problem: There is missing and erroneous help information for
  proxy settings in the WebSphere Application Server information
  center for the administrative console page located by
  navigating as follows:
  Servers > Server Types > Proxy Servers > server_name > HTTP
  Proxy Server Settings > Proxy settings
  
  Resolution: Topic, Proxy server settings, is updated to
  include the sections Static file serving and Workload
  Management. Also, terminology inconsistencies have been
  corrected.
  
  This update also applies to the Version 7.0, and 8.0
  information centers.
  -------------
  ID: 741497
  Problem: If, when attempting to use the Installation Manager
  to install ifixes on WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5,
  you select the "update All" option, you will get the
  following error:
  
  "No Updates or fixes were found for the packages that are
  installed in the selected locations"
  
  This error occurs even though the fix is included in the
  list of repositories that the Installation Manager reports to
  be searching.  The information center does not adequately
  explain this condition.
  
  Resolution: The topics:
  
  - Installing fix packs on the Web Server Plug-ins using the
  GUI
  - Installing fix packs on the WebSphere Customization
  Toolbox using the GUI
  - Installing fix packs on the DMZ Secure Proxy Server using
  the GUI
  - Installing fix packs on distributed operating systems
  using the GUI
  - Installing fix packs on IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology
  Edition Version 7.0 using the GUI
  - Installing fix packs for the Web 2.0 and Mobile Toolkit
  on distributed operating systems using the GUI
  
  will be updated to include the following TIP for the task
  step that selects the package  group to update:
  
  Tip: If you select Update all, Installation Manager will
  search all of the added and predefined repositories for
  recommended updates to all of the package groups that it has
  installed. Use this feature only if you have full control over
  which fixes are contained in the targeted repositories. If you
  create and point to a set of custom repositories that include
  only the specific recommended fixes that you want to install,
  you should be able to use this feature confidently. If you
  enable searching service repositories or install fixes
  directly from other live web-based repositories, then you
  might not want to select this option so that you can select
  only the fixes that you want to install for each offering on
  subsequent panels.
  ------------------
  ID: 741518
  
  Problem: Topic, Web server configuration, describes the Service
  name property for the Windows operating systems. The propety
  description is inaccurate.
  
  Resolution:  Topic, Web server configuration is updated to
  include the following description of the Service name property:
  
  Specifies the Microsoft Windows operating system name for the
  web server service. The name is the "Display name" of the
  service and you can find it by opening the General properties
  tab of the web server service
  
  This update also applies to the Version 7.0, and 8.0
  Information Centers.
