Installing and uninstalling SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0 on distributed operating systems
IBM® WebSphere® SDK Java™ Technology Edition Version 6.0 is no longer in service. Using IBM Installation Manager, you can optionally install IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0. For new installations of WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.11 or later, Java SE 8 is installed by default.
Before you begin
For more information on Java SE 6, 7, and 7.1 end of service, see Java SE 6, 7, and 7.1 end of service in WebSphere Application Server V8.5.
The com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v80 offering will be deprecated, and no fix packs or interim fixes will be provided for this offering after March 2020. If this offering is installed with WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5.5 after March 2020, uninstall it and switch to the default Java SE 8 SDK provided by the WebSphere Application Server package in the same package group. With the default Java SE 8 SDK, you continue receiving Java SE 8 SDK support, including security updates.
If you have a Liberty offering and you want to add IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0 for Liberty, see Installing, updating, and uninstalling IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition.
- Installation Manager console mode, which is included in Installation Manager Version 1.4.3 and later, does not work with WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 offerings on systems other than z/OS®.
- The Installation Manager web interface, which is included in Installation Manager Version 1.8.0 and later, does not work with WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 offerings.
About this task
- If the WebSphere Application Server installation package has a 32-bit version of IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 6.0, Installation Manager installs a 32-bit version of SDK Version 8.0.
- If the WebSphere Application Server installation package has a 64-bit version of SDK Version 6.0, Installation Manager installs a 64-bit version of SDK Version 8.0.
- For DMZ Secure Proxy Server for IBM WebSphere Application Server, which has only a JRE, Installation Manager installs an SDK Version 8.0 architecture corresponding to that of the JRE.
- IBM
WebSphere SDK Java
Technology Edition Version 8.0 is not supported on the Solaris SPARC 32-bit architecture. If you
want to install the SDK Version 8.0 on Solaris, you must install it on a 64-bit product installation
package on the 64-bit Solaris SPARC architecture.
Because Application Client and WebSphere Application Server Express installation packages can have only a 32-bit architecture, IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0 cannot be installed with these offerings on Solaris.
