Update 5.1.0.3 available

A new fix called "Interim Fix 003 - 5.1.0.3" is now available for both of
the following products:

1: (WDSc) WebSphere Development Studio Client for iSeries V5.1
2: (WDSc Advanced) WebSphere Development Studio Client Advanced Edition for
iSeries V5.1

This update can be accessed by the following 2 methods:

1 - Automated Update:
  -  The automated update will compare the current product installed on
your PC with the available fixes on the IBM servers.
  -  Missing updates are then downloaded and installed.
  -  To access this support, launch the WDSc workbench and select Help >
Software Updates > New Updates
  -  To access these fixes through a proxy, select "Window > Preferences >
Internet" and enter the appropriate proxy information, including the proxy
host, port, and any authentication information that is required.
  -  If no fixes are detected by the tooling, or you encounter problems
after applying a fix, issue the following steps:

a) Shutdown the product
b) Open a command window and change directory to the "Site Developer"
install
      ie.  cd  C:\Program Files\IBM\WebSphere Studio\Site
Developer\V5.1\eclipse
c) Type the following command (specify your workspace location),
eclipse.exe -initialize   -data c:\workspace
d) This command forces the product to re-evaluate all the plugins and
initialize the workspace.  After restarting the product with the fixed
workspace, you should be able to select "New Updates" and get all the
fixes.


2 - Manual download available Monday June 21,2004:
  It is recommended that you install updates using the automated update
method, but a download version of the fix is available for users who meet
the following criteria:
  -  Have slow or unstable Internet connections and would like to use a
download manager with resume capability
  -  Have trouble accessing the live IBM server from behind firewalls or
"Microsoft Internet Security & Acceleration server"
  -  Would rather download the fixes and install at a later time
  -  Are site administrators for a group of developers who do not have
direct access to the Internet
  This download will include a set of instructions to help users manually
update the product.
