While the What's new in Version 6.0? topic introduces you to the
main new function in WebSphere
Event Broker Version 6.0, this topic
introduces you to additional function that has been added in fix packs.
For detailed information about the content of fix packs, go to the WebSphere Event Broker support
Web page and select your product to display the recommended
fix pack or to list all available fix packs. Each fix pack includes a memo,
called memo.ptf, that includes details of its content.
Fix Pack V6.0.0.2 enhancements:

- Extended database support
- Support is added for the following databases on Solaris (x86 platform):
See Supported databases for details of available database
support by operating environment.
See Configuring component databases for
instructions to configure these databases on this platform.
- IPv6 support
- Internet Protocol Version 6 is now supported. You can enter or refer to
an IPv6 address in all situations in which an IPv4 address is valid, for example
in the mqsichangeproperties command.
- Overview of creating z/OS components
- The information that describes the mandatory and optional tasks that create
components on z/OS has been enhanced. No new function is provided, but the
topics have been changed and extended to improve the order and description
of how you achieve the results you want in your broker domain. See Creating WebSphere Event Broker components on z/OS.

- Fix Pack V6.0.0.1 enhancements:
- Updated Rational support for Message Brokers Toolkit
- Message Brokers Toolkit is now based
on Rational Application Developer (RAD) Version 6.0.1.1 and is compatible
with that release and later Version 6.0.1 updates. It cannot coexist with
RAD products that are based on different versions, so such products cannot
be below Version 6.0.1.1, and must be below Version 6.0.2. Other Rational
products must also be at the latest available level. For detailed guidance
about ensuring you have a compatible Rational framework, see the Installation Guide.
- Support for 64-bit execution groups
- The addition of support for 64-bit execution groups allows the use of
very large messages, and also enables WebSphere
Event Broker Version 6.0 to
run applications in fastpath (trusted) mode when using the 64-bit Queue Manager
provided in WebSphere
MQ Version 6.0.
- Extended platform and operating system support for runtime environments
- Support is now provided for the following runtime environments:
- Solaris (x86-64 platform), running Solaris 10.
- Linux (POWER platform) on iSeries and pSeries hardware,
running either of the following operating systems:
- Linux PowerPC Red Hat Enterprise Advanced Server V4

platform).
- Solaris 10 on Solaris
(SPARC platform) and Solaris (x86-64 platform).
