We are pleased to announce second cumulative update for new HTML5 Self Service Portal and it can be downloaded from here .  As this is cumulative update, you can either install this update directly on RTM Release or even if you have previous update installed on RTM.

Please note that this release is independent of Service Manager UR9 Release and do not need UR9 to be installed on machines. This specific patch needs to be applied only on machine(s) which are hosting new Self Service Portal to enable following features and fixes. Installing UR9 on Machine won’t fix Self Service Portal issue.
