ADDITIONAL DISCUSSIONS

  1. The installer will install patch files only for the components found on the system.
  2. The Patch installer is platform specific (Windows or Linux) as well as WBI Server Express/WBI Server Express Plus specific.
  3. As part of WBI Server Express/WBI Server Express Plus fix pack 4.4.0.1, a new business rule property “Long live detection” is available for business rules with detection types “Not”, “Unless” or “At Most”. By default, the property “Long live detection” is set to “No”, meaning that business probe events that are relevant for calculating detection of the current business rule is kept in memory. When the property “Long live detection” is set to “Yes”, business rule detection information will be stored in the database instead. As a general guideline, user should consider enabling “long live detection” in business rules that has a longer effective time span (i.e. business rules that last for weeks or months, etc). By doing so, it will allow more optimized memory usage during business rule detections in runtime.
    For existing business rules with detection types “Not”, “Unless” or “At Most”, the default setting for “Long live detection” is “No”. Existing business rules will continue to work and do not require being upgraded. To enable “long live detection” in an existing business rule definition, simply open the business rule definition System Manager, modify its property value and redeploy to the ICS server.
  4. For i5/OS, the patch is delivered in PTF SI18540 for server related fixes. Windows based tools must be updated using the Windows patch installer on the tools' PC.
