Remediation/Fixes

Obtain the latest Java JRE CPU update for the IBM Java SDK by using the following information.

ADI 5.1.0, Java 1.8

ADI 5.0.5, Java 1.8

ADI 5.0.4, Java 1.7 

  1. If you are running ADI V5.0.5 or V5.1.0, skip this step. For V5.0.4, complete the following substeps.
    1. Stop the server. Navigate to the server directory in your Rational product installation path and run this script: server.shutdown
    2. Modify the healthcenter parameter set.  
      • Navigate to the server directory in your Rational product installation path, open the server.startup  script by using your preferred text editor (e.g., Notepad for Windows or Vim Editor for Linux).
      • Search parameter -Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent  in the server.startup script to find the line that contains the healthcenter parameter.
        NOTE: For some Rational Collaborative Lifecycle Management versions, -Dcom.ibm.java.diagnostics.healthcenter.agent  parameter may not be found in the server.startup, in this case the update is not needed and you can start using your server.
      • Windows:  
        Comment out the line (where the HEALTHCENTER_OPTS parameter is located) by inserting "rem " at the beginning of the line:

        Before modification:   
        set HEALTHCENTER_OPTS=-agentlib:healthcenter  ...

        After modification:                   
        rem set HEALTHCENTER_OPTS=-agentlib:healthcenter ...  
      • Linux:  
        Comment out the line (where the HEALTHCENTER_OPTS parameter is located) by inserting "# " at the beginning of the line:

        Before modification:   
        export HEALTHCENTER_OPTS="-agentlib:healthcenter  ...

        After modification:                   
        # export HEALTHCENTER_OPTS="-agentlib:healthcenter ...
    3. Start the server. Navigate to the server directory in your Rational product installation path and run this script: server.startup
  2. Upgrade your JRE by following the instructions in the link below:
