Answer: A

Explanation:

A WebSphere Commerce interim fix (iFix) is a software patch that contains fixes for one or more APARs. A WebSphere Commerce cumulative iFix is a comprehensive collection of interim fixes for a specific release. Both types of fixes are installed with the WebSphere Commerce Update Installer (UPDI).

Note: An Authorized Program Analysis Report, or APAR, is a formal report from IBM development to customers that have notified IBM of a problem or suspected defect. If IBM development is able to confirm the existence of the issue they will create an APAR with any known work around and perhaps an indication of which future release, if any, of the IBM program they intend to target for a formal fix to the defect and whether or not a Program Temporary Fix (PTF) is planned. The APAR will then be published so that it is visible to supported customers.
