    *                  Server V8.5.                                *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: On IBM i, the install of fix pack       *
    *                      8.5.5.13 may fail with the              *
    *                      following message:                      *
    *                      "The installation failed because a      *
    *                      profile uses Java SE 6"                 *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:  Apply fix pack 8.5.5.14 or install the      *
    *                  following Java SE 8 product options:        *
    *                  5770JV1    16      Java SE 8 32 bit         *
    *                  5770JV1    17      Java SE 8 64 bit         *
    ****************************************************************
    On IBM i, the check for JAVA SE 8 fails when Java SE 8 was
    uninstalled on the system. The uninstall leaves some folders
    which causes the check for Java SE 8 to fail. The check
    bypasses Java SE 7 and causes the install to fail.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The WebSphere Application Server is fixed to execute a more
    precise check for Java SE 8 and Java SE 7.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.14.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
    page for delivery information:

Temporary fix

  • Install the following product options and then retry the
    install of fix pack 8.5.5.13:
    
     5770JV1    16      Java SE 8 32 bit
     5770JV1    17      Java SE 8 64 bit
