Applying an interim fix to the WebSphere Commerce product interactively

To install the interim fix you must first update the WebSphere Commerce product.

Before you begin

Important:
  • Ensure that you created the instance before you install any interim fixes to the product. If you install an interim fix to the product and then create an instance, you might encounter dependency issues when you install another interim fix in the future.
  • If you are installing an interim fix on top of a Feature Pack, ensure that features are enabled before you install the interim fix. For more information about features, see Enabling features.
Ensure that you have the proper system administration rights:

    • Ensure that the file size limit is set to unlimited. To check the current limit, type the following in a command window: ulimit -a

      If the value returned for the file size is not set to unlimited, change the limit by running the following command: ulimit -f unlimited​

    • Ensure that you increase the default limit of the open files parameter. Change the limit by running the following command: ulimit -n 8192
