Remediation/Fixes

Customers need to perform the following steps to apply the fix:

  1. Shutdown the IBM ADDI Extensions server
  2. Navigate to the IBM ADDI Extensions install directory and rename the JRE folder
           <ADDI Install Dir>/IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Extensions/adi<version>/server/jre 
            to 
           <ADDI Install Dir>/IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Extensions/adi<version>/server/jre-original
  3. This will ensure that the original JRE is kept as a backup if a restore is required
  4. Download the new IBM JRE fix pack for the appropriate operating system from ADDI fix pack IBM JRE 8.0.6.31
  5. Extract the new IBM JRE fix pack downloaded above to the IBM ADDI Extensions install directory
           <ADDI Install Dir>/IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Extensions/adi<version>/server/
  6. Restart the IBM ADDI Extensions server
  7. Confirm that IBM ADDI Extensions server has startup up successfully and all components are working as expected
  8. Once confirmed, you can now delete the JRE folder that you backed up in Step 2 above
           <ADDI Install Dir>/IBM Application Discovery and Delivery Intelligence Extensions/adi<version>/server/jre-original
