Upgrading middleware resources

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