Add the ability to install Quarterly Fixpacks to the menu choices in the WebSphere Automation tool.

90% of our application maintenance activities are updating WebSphere products via Fixpack upgrade. We do not install fixes unless there is the rare emergency. So the product does not provide enough bandwidth to be considered as a viable new product addition in the support of our current WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Liberty environments.  We are unlikely to install multiples of fixes over hundreds of environments and then have to deal with the additional task of managing the Quarterly Fixpack upgrades.

    Hi Patricia,

    IBM WebSphere Automation (WSA) team appreciate you taking the time to submit a product idea.

    Submitting ideas are an invaluable tool to provide feedback for the product and influence potential future enhancements.

    For this reason, the WSA team spend considerable time to evaluate each submitted response.

    Your submitted idea covered the following for the product:

    #103 - Add the ability to install Quarterly Fixpacks to the menu choices in the WebSphere Automation tool.

    Though your idea is intriguing, it does not align with the strategic direction of the product or could not be implemented in the next twelve (12) months based on current prioritization.

    As such, your submitted idea has been moved into the “Not under consideration” state for closure.

    We apologize that your submitted idea can not be progressed any further at this time.

    However, the WSA team may revisit your submitted idea in the future based on community activity and interest in your idea.

    Please note your submitted idea can continue to be commented upon by others including upvotes by the community.

    Additionally, you can comment on your submitted idea if you have any questions regarding this update.

    Thanks for your interest in our product and taking the time to submit your valuable idea.

    Sincerely,

    IBM WebSphere Automation (WSA) team
