Cumulative interim fixes for Fix Pack 8
The following cumulative interim fixes are available for WebSphere Commerce Fix Pack 8.
Each individual iFix and cumulative iFix package contains a different
readme file. Each readme file might include specific
installation instructions. For example:
- Some iFixes might require manual modifications to source code after you install the fix
- For runtime environments, some iFixes might be applicable to the base WebSphere Commerce product only and not the instance.
Every subsequent cumulative package release contains all fixes from the previous cumulative
package. Therefore, you need to install only the latest cumulative interim fix to obtain all the
interim fixes that are listed. The latest cumulative interim fix for Fix Pack 8 is JR52306.fp.
