Hi Anatoly Kireev,

you can download the Websphere Application 8.5.5 Fixpack 19 and the IBM Websphere Supplements on the IBM Support Page with IBM Account.

Hope it helps.

Best Regards

Hi Max,

unfortunately, fixcentral requires an active support contract with IBM to download WAS software.

This was changed some month ago.

Hi Anatoly,

HCL only provided WAS FP18 in Flexnet.

So you can either use this version (I saw no errors when I'm using this), or open a Ticket that HCL provides the FP19 in the FlexNet downloads.

hi Anatoly,

I guess you are referring to the sys req document for Connections, support for WebSphere Application Server:

https://support.hcltechsw.com/csm?id=kb_article&sysparm_article=KB0085090&sys_kb_id=2010cc82db30acd0a45ad9fcd3961971#application

Indeed, it lists WAS 8.5.5.19 and the minimum required version for that release level of WAS is Connections 7.

Connections 7 itself was released with WAS 8.5.5.18.

So, it doesn't mean that Connections 7 requires WAS 8.5.5.19 (although it's recommended to use the latest supported fixpack for WAS 8.5.5)

Anyway, a side note tells that you can download fix packs from HCL License & Delivery Portal in the "WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 and Select Fix Packs" package. I would assume that you will find Fixpack 19 there, so not in the Connections 7 package.

Greetings

Hello Anatoly,

I wanted to announce that Fp 19 for WAS 8.5.5 has now been made available on the HCL License & Delivery Portal site in the "WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5 and Select Fix Packs" package.

Thank you,

Vanessa
