Re: WDSC 5.1 updates/fixes? -- WDSCI-L

Each of those updates can be downloaded as zip files from IBM support. 
They come down in the form of a zipped "update site".  You have to unzip 
them somewhere and then use the Install/Update perspective to navigate to 
the update site and install the updates in the right order.

You could also unzip them to a folder being served by an internal HTTP 
server and then manually add a Local Site that points to that server.  The 
reason that is useful is that (unless it has been fixed recently) the 
Install/Update perspective did not support installing from UNC path names, 
so if you want to use a central server you have to have drive mappings.

If you have installed the spooled file or messages plugins that we have 
made available then you have used this concept of a local update site 
before.  It is fairly easy to do, the only hard thing in this case is to 
install in the correct order.
