Prerequisites and co-requisites
This upgrade for the Robotic Response Time agents , which is part of ITCAM for Transactions: Response Time, may be applied to the following base versions.
- 7.1.0.x - AIX, Windows, Linux
- 7.2.0.x - AIX, Windows, Linux
- 7.3.0.x - AIX, Windows, Linux
- 7.4.0.x - AIX, Windows, Linux
- Supported base versions include interim fixes applied to any of the above release levels.
This patch replaces the two JREs shipped with the Robotics Response Time (T6) agent, bringing them to the latest level. This remediates multiple security issues.
This patch is applicable for T6 agents:
- versions 7.4.0.x, 7.3.0.x, 7.2.0.x and 7.1.0.x
- Windows, AIX and Linux platforms.
7.4 agent needs to update java 80 JRE. 7.4 and 7.3 agents need to update both java60 and java 70 JREs. 7.2 and 7.1 agents only needs to update java60. These variations are noted in the installation steps below.
Any customisations done to the existing JREs needs to be preserved. Since these JREs are product specific (ie only used by the T6 agent), there should only be at most one customisation as instructed by IBM support; which is to enable strong encryption by updating the JRE's encryption policy (see technote in Related Material).
After the patch, the Java versions will be:
- Java 6.0 SR16 FP30
- Java 7.0 SR9 FP50
- Java 8.0 SR3 FP10

Installation information
Before Installing
Validate pre-existing java is older than ones delivered in this IFix.
The RRT Agent's javas are located in
- Windows:
- java60: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java60
- java70: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java70 - only in 7.3.0.1-LA2 and later
- java80: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java80 - only in 7.4.0.1-IF8 and later
- Unix:
- java60: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java60
- java70: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java70 - only in 7.3.0.1-LA2 and later
- java80: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java80 - only in 7.4.0.1-IF8 and later
Check their versions, for example
C:\ibm\itm\TMAITM6> .\java70\jre\bin\java.exe -version

Installing
Notes
- If you are using 7.2 and 7.1 T6 agents, you do not need to unarchive the \java70 directory. For 7.3 onwards, please unarchive both JREs.
- If you have updated the T6 jre to use strong encryption, you must migrate the policy files to the new JREs. The two files are:
\lib\security\local_policy.jar \lib\security\US_export_policy.jar
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21245273
- Back up existing java
- Stop the T6 agent
- Backup existing java jres, for example
> c:
> cd c:\ibm\itm\tmaitm6\
> move java60 java60.old
> move java70 java70.old - only in 7.3.0.1-LA2 and later. > move java80 java80.old - only in 7.4.0.1-IF8 and later.
- Replace the JREs
- Unzip/Untar the archive to the same directory, for example, after unarchiving your directory structure should be like:
c:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6>dir java*
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 44AB-01FC

- Unzip/Untar the archive to the same directory, for example, after unarchiving your directory structure should be like:
- Validate the update JRE version/function
- Check version number of JRE 6.0, for example
> c:
> cd c:\ibm\itm\tmaitm6
> java60\jre\bin\java.exe -version
