IBM Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 Readme File

Abstract

Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 is a refreshed offering of Platform Symphony 7.1 that includes accumulated fixes and significant scalability enhancements. Use this refreshed offering instead of the one available at IBM Passport Advantage.

Description

Use the refreshed Platform Symphony 7.1 offering (Fix Pack 1) instead of any other previous Platform Symphony 7.1 packages.

If you have not already installed Platform Symphony 7.1, download and install Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 instead. This ensures your system has the necessary fixes and enhancements.

If you previously installed Platform Symphony 7.1, you must upgrade to Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 by following the Platform Symphony documentation for upgrading your cluster. Any future updates to Platform Symphony 7.1 will be based off of this refreshed offering, so it is important that you are using Fix Pack 1.

Fix Pack 1 is applicable to all platforms supported by Platform Symphony.

Important note: Platform Symphony 7.1 Fix Pack 1 does not contain an entitlement file for the offering. You must download and use the Platform Symphony 7.1 entitlement file from Passport Advantage that is appropriate to the product edition you purchased.
