|8.0.0.x, 8.0.1.x,  | 1. Determine the WAS version used by your CCRC WAN     |
|9.0.0.x, 9.0.1.x   |    server. Navigate to the CCRC profile directory      |
|                   |    (either the profile you specified when installing   |
|                   |    ClearCase, or <ccase-home>/common/ccrcprofile), then|
|                   |    execute the script: bin/versionInfo.sh (UNIX) or bin|
|                   |    \versionInfo.bat (Windows). The output includes a   |
|                   |    section "IBM WebSphere Application Server". Make    |
|                   |    note of the version listed in this section. Check   |
|                   |    your installed version of IBM WebSphere Application |
|                   |    Server against this bulletin's list of vulnerable   |
|                   |    versions.                                           |
|                   | 2. Identify the latest available fix (per the bulletin |
|                   |    listed above) for the version of WAS used for CCRC  |
|                   |    WAN server.                                         |
|                   | 3. Apply the appropriate WebSphere Application Server  |
|                   |    fix directly to your CCRC WAN server host. No       |
|                   |    ClearCase-specific steps are necessary.             |
