Java 8 Important Information

This upgrade uninstalls the existing IBM Java 7 and installs the latest version of the IBM Java 8 JRE. If any of the Java 7 files were modified since the v8.1 installation, then these modified files are removed during the upgrade process, except for the java.security file. Before you perform the upgrade, back up these modified files to a private location, then after the upgrade reapply the modifications. The Java 8 java.security file has significant differences to the Java 7 java.security file. Review the default Java 8 java.security file and update it to comply with the existing settings in the Java 7 java.security file.

IBM Java 8 does NOT run on some older versions of operating systems, which include the following operating systems:
- AIX 6.1 before Tech Level 9
- Older versions of Linux (due to a GLIBC 2.7 requirement)
- Solaris SPARC 32 bit (IBM Java on Solaris SPARC is 64 bit only)

 
The following defect solutions are included in this release:
 
8.1.0-TIV-NCOMNIbus-FP0036
 

DT456418
To address potential security vulnerabilities, the JRE for Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus V8.1.0 is updated to IBM JRE 8.0 SR8 FP55.
Security Bulletins:

 

DT455788
MIB Manager failed to run on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 10 because it relied on GTK2, which was removed in RHEL 10. MIB Manager has now been updated to use GTK3 instead.

Prerequisites

OMNIbus core 8.1 must be installed before this Fixpack can be installed.
Fixpacks are cumulative. The latest Fixpack can be applied to update any OMNIbus core 8.1 installation to the latest Fixpack version.
