Below is a list of components, platforms, and file names that apply to this Readme file.

This upgrade for the Robotic Response Time agents , which is part of ITCAM for Transactions: Response Time, may be applied to the following base versions.

• 7.3.0.x - AIX, Windows, Linux
• 7.4.0.x - AIX, Windows, Linux

Notes:

1. Supported base versions include interim fixes applied to any of the above release levels.

This patch replaces the two JREs shipped with the Robotics Response Time (T6) agent, bringing them to the latest level. This remediates multiple security issues.

This patch is applicable for T6 agents:

• versions 7.4.0.x, 7.3.0.x
• Windows, AIX and Linux platforms.

The T6's JREs are only used when playing back Rational Performance Tester (RPT) scripts, thus not available on Solaris and HPUX (RPT playback is not supported on Solaris and HPUX).
7.4 and 7.3 agents need to update both java60 and java 70 JREs.These variations are noted in the installation steps below.
Any customisations done to the existing JREs needs to be preserved. Since these JREs are product specific (ie only used by the T6 agent), there should only be at most one customisation as instructed by IBM support; which is to enable strong encryption by updating the JRE's encryption policy (see technote in Related Material).
After the patch, the Java versions will be:

• Java 6.0 SR16 FP25
• Java 7.0 SR9 FP40
• Java 8.0 SR3

Before Installing

Validate pre-existing java is older than ones delivered in this IFix.
The RRT Agent's javas are located in

• Windows:
  • java60: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java60
  • java70: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java70 - only in 7.3.0.1-LA2 and later
• Unix:
  • java60: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java60
  • java70: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java70 - only in 7.3.0.1-LA2 and later

Check their versions, for example
C:\ibm\itm\TMAITM6> .\java70\jre\bin\java.exe -version

Installing

Notes

1. For 7.3 onwards agents, please unarchive both JREs.
2. If you have updated the T6 jre to use strong encryption, you must migrate the policy files to the new JREs. The two files are:
   • \lib\security\local_policy.jar
   • \lib\security\US_export_policy.jar

See:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21245273

• Back up existing java
  1. Stop the T6 agent
  2. Backup existing java jres, for example
     > c:
     > cd c:\ibm\itm\tmaitm6\
     > move java60 java60.old
     > move java70 java70.old - only in 7.3.0.1-LA and later.
• Replace the JREs
  1. Unzip/Untar the archive to the same directory, for example, after unarchiving your directory structure should be like:
     c:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6>dir java*
     

     Volume in drive C has no label.
     Volume Serial Number is 44AB-01FC
     
     Directory of c:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6

     12/03/2012 04:08 PM <DIR> java60.old
     29/05/2013 02:04 PM <DIR> java70
     13/02/2013 02:14 PM <DIR> java70.old
     

     0 File(s) 0 bytes

• Validate the update JRE version/function
  1. Check version number of JRE 6.0, for example
     > c:
     > cd c:\ibm\itm\tmaitm6
     > java60\jre\bin\java.exe -version
