Fix Packs

A fix pack is a cumulative APAR package containing all currently available APAR fixes. Fix packs are tested to ensure that the included APARs function well together. You can obtain fix packs using the APAR commit option in the Product Update Tool or by downloading the .msp file.

When you check for APARs, any available fix packs are also displayed. The corresponding .msp file is located in the same application data directory as APARs, with the specific fix pack name. You might be prompted to reboot the system.

To download fix pack files, go to the manufacturing refresh site—you will find a link to the latest fix pack, a list of included APARs, and installation instructions.

Refer to CD-ROM Guide to Installation for information about applying fix packs to administrative installation images and local client installations.
