Abstract:                  Installing ProcessApp snapshots on a Process Server may lead to broken AIS invocations

Description/symptom of problem:
If a ProcessApp snapshot is installed on a Process Server, under certain circumstances it may happen that BPDs 
from within this ProcessApp will be running within a "Tip" VersioningContext. After restarting the Process 
Server node, this errorneous behavior is gone.


Directions to apply fix:


1) Shutdown WebSphere. It is important that you perform a controlled and complete shutdown of the server to ensure
   that all transactions have completed, before installing the fix.

2) Extract the .zip file to a directory. For example, extract to C:\temp.

3) Add the fix pack repository location in IBM Installation Manager:
   a. Start IBM Installation Manager.
   b. In Installation Manager, click File > Preferences > Repositories.
   c. Click Add Repository.
