LSF9 on Windows 2003, Websphere 6.1 Fix pack 19.
The latest fix pack for Websphere is 33. The Websphere installer version 7.0 is needed for this fix pack.
Our Lawson configuration has IIS 6 with Websphere on our web server. LSF9 and applications with Websphere is on our application server. Whenever I apply a LSF9 patch I usually have to deploy the EARs in Websphere, regenerate the Websphere plugin, and deploy the plugin on the web server.
For the application of the fix packs on our test system (where the web and application components are on one server), the Websphere intaller is run twice -- once for plugins and once for application.
What should be done on production where the web and application components are segregated? I'm thinking the on the web server, I would run the Websphere installer and chose the plugin updates then on the application server, run the installer and choose the plugin and application updates.
Does anyone have experience or comments with this kind of configuration? Thanks.
