Remediation/Fixes
The recommended solution is to download and install the appropriate version of IBM JRE as soon as practicable.
- Before installing a newer version of IBM JRE, please ensure that you:
- Close any open programs that you may have running;
- Rename the initial directory of the IBM JRE (for example: with a .old at the end),
- Download and install the appropriate IBM JRE version.
Here are the detailed instructions for updating IBM JRE.
You must verify that applying this fix does not cause any compatibility issues.
For HP-UX, MacOS and Solaris, IBM recommends upgrading to a fixed, supported version/release/platform of the product.
