Hi

Was there ever a fixlet for this version? if so, is it posible to gain access to it??

One of our systems needs this update because it hasnt been tested with the latest version 21 yet.

Not sure if this is the right forum though.

Thanks

I’m sure there was, but it’s been replaced by the current one.

It’s not too hard to create your own, basing it on the 6 Update 21 fixlets.

Here’s what I’d suggest you do…

  1. Download the JRE for 1.6 update 20 from Sun (http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html)

  2. Upload the JRE to the Bes server (Personally I like using the Windows Software distribution wizard for this to upload & generate some of the action that I’ll need)

  3. Create a copy of the Java Runtime Environment 6 Update 21 fixlets you want to deploy as 6 Update 20 (JRE<6, JRE5&6, JRE 6 Installed)

  4. Relevance for JRE<6 stays the same, just change the action for the download, extract, wait and action requires restart

  5. Relevance for the other 2 fixlets needs to be modified from evaluating against 6.0.210 to 6.0.200. Again change the action for the download, etc.

I did the same. I made a custom copy of the update 20 before it expired and kept the .exe around so it could be copied and renamed in it’s respective folder on the BigFix server.

Our application developers have only tested up to 20 so far so that is where I locked us in for now.
