Problem summary
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: All users of IBM WebSphere Application * * Server * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Update WebSphere Application Server * * plug-in 8.5.5.13 with Java 6 * * to 8.5.5.14 fails with Post install * * java not found error. * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * **************************************************************** The command line default Java of WebSphere Application Server plug-in 8.5.5.13 is configurated to the default Java 6 of the WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.13. During update Installation Manager calls Managesdk to use Java 8 to setup Java 8 properties. However, if WebSphere Application Server plug-in 8.5.5.13 is updated to 8.5.5.14 first, Managesdk will still calls the default Java 6 of WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.13 instead of the new installed Java 8 of WebSphere Application Server plug-in 8.5.5.14. This causes the java not found error and update failure.
Problem conclusion
The fix is to edit Java 8 properties directly instead of using Managesdk for supplemental offerings. The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in fix pack 8.5.5.15 Please refer to the Recommended Updates page for delivery information: http://www.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27004980
