Upgrading middleware resources

When installing TrueSight Middleware Administrator, it picks up Java libraries from the underlying middleware it will use (i.e. from the IBM WebSphere MQ Client or from TIBCO EMS) and copies it in OSGI bundles used by the TrueSight Middleware Administrator services. As a result, if you update the middleware on the TrueSight Middleware Administrator server operating system, this will not update the middleware resources in the OSGI bundles used by TrueSight Middleware Administrator. Updating these resources is the responsibility of the Product Administrator.
