Failure to apply APARs to Feature Pack 2 features that have already been enabled
Problem(Abstract)
If you have already enabled a feature in Feature Pack 2 and now wish to apply an APAR to that feature, the installation of the APAR may fail.
Cause Maintenance information was missing when the feature is enabled. Resolving the problem
Solution 1

1. Back up the contents of the WC_installdir/instances/instance/properties/version directory

2. Copy all the directories and files under WC_installdir/components/enabled_featurename/wc.ear/properties/version to WC_installdir/instances/instance/properties/version.
If a file already exists during the copy, do not overwrite the existing file and move on to the next file.

3. Apply the appropriate Feature Pack 2 APAR.

4. If the Feature Pack 2 APAR was successfully applied, you may remove the files that you backed up in step 1

5. Install WebSphere Commerce Fix Pack 3 before enabling any other features to prevent this problem from happening in the future.
