RE: Advice needed for getting started

You need to order 5722WDS.
I wouldn't recommend install the 4.0 version and they "trying" to update 
it cause it don't work and will cause headaches when you try to install 
the newer version.  You'll end up getting the cd's, installing 5.1, then 
running thru the updates to get all the latest fixes and patches.  Prior 
to 5.1 you can't use the update to go past the 5.0 version.  5.1 was 
totally new, or so they said.

RE: [WDSCI-L] Advice needed for getting started







Hi,
      I was talking to our system administrator about ordering 5.1.2.4. 
She
looked in the IBM web site and said she needs an 'SF' number for 
preventive
planning service pack. I googled WebSphere 5.1.2.4 and it looks like it 
has
fixes, not the base. It told me to go to the work bench, help, software
updates, new updates. The only thing I have in help in RSE - Development
Studio Client is Welcome, Help Contents, Feedback and about.
      I found the WebSphere Application Server Administrator Roadmap at
IBM. It looks like there are several redbooks on this. Since we haven't
really used V4, Can we just install the new version and not go through the
migration? I found out we will be going to OS 5.3 this fall. Would it be
better to just use the 4.0 until then?
      Excuse me for being so needy, but if someone could help me figure 
out
what to order, I would appreciate it. The more I look at, the more 
confused
I am getting. Thanks!
