The official name for this patch is:
If that’s not a big-enough mouthful, it’s also referred to as the Applications Technology Group (ATG) Family Pack H Rollup 5. 

This Rollup patch is a collection of technology-stack patches that can safely be applied on top of the ATG Family Pack H. This Rollup patch is cumulative:  all previous patches released for Family Pack H since the initial 11.5.10 release, including Rollup 4, are included in this latest patch.  Rollup 4 is superceded by this latest Rollup.

Why Is This Rollup Important?

Like the previous ATG Rollup 4, we’ve spent a huge amount of effort both within the Applications Technology Group and across the entire Applications Suite to test and certify this Rollup patch.

Our focus for ATG Rollup 5 has been to consolidate all known safe defect fixes, performance improvements and security enhancements into one well integrated and fully certified update.  We also focused on eliminating as many “co-requisite” patches as possible (application product patches required to interoperate with new ATG Rollups), by working to restore backward compatibility with earlier application levels wherever possible.

We recommend that all customers make plans to move to Rollup 5 as quickly as possible, especially any customers who are not already at ATG Rollup 4.
