MDV Refresh Pack Fix Pack Characteristics A package that may include new features and fixes, such as V6.0.1. Refresh Packs are cumulative, so V6.0.2* would include features and fixes contained in V6.0.1, as well as any subsequent Fix Packs and Interim Fixes published for V6.0.1. Refresh Packs uninstall all Fix Packs and Interim Fixes previously applied to the release. So, it is necessary to check the list of delivered fixes to determine if an Interim Fix must be reinstalled. Regression testing of critical functions with new Refresh Pack is strongly recommended to ensure your custom applications continue to function as that. A Refresh Pack which also provides new installation media (electronic or physical) is called a Manufacturing Refresh. Typically, a Manufacturing Refresh will have a Refresh Pack available as well for existing customers to install into their existing environment. This is the standard delivery for updates; it has been fully regression tested by IBM prior to release. A Fix Pack is a cumulative package of only fixes, such as V6.0.1.1, unless otherwise noted. Fix Packs install on top of a specific Refresh Pack, such as applying V6.0.1.1 to V6.0.1.0, or onto the base level of code (6.0.0.0) in some cases. Fix Packs also install on top of a previous fix pack, such as applying V6.0.1.1 to V6.0.0.1. Fix Packs are cumulative, so V6.0.1.3* includes all fixes in V6.0.1.1. Fix Packs uninstall all Interim Fixes applied to the release since the last Refresh Pack or Fix Pack was installed. Therefore, it is necessary to check the list of delivered fixes to determine if an interim fix needs to be reinstalled. Testing of critical functions with the new fix pack is recommended to ensure your custom applications continue to function as expected. 212 IBM WebSphere Portal V6 Self Help Guide
