LOCAL FIX:
None
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Ship Java 8 SR5 FP15 for WebSphere Application Server traditional bundled Java 8
USERS AFFECTED:
This combination of WebSphere Application Server and Java is available with fix pack 855.11 and later.
This i-fix includes two possible upgrade scenarios:
a) If applied to WebSphere 8.5.5.11 or later where bundled Java 8 is installed, it will upgrade your bundled Java 8 to SR5 FP15.
b) If applied to WebSphere 8.5.5.11 or later where the original Java 6 is installed, it will remove Java 6 and replace it with bundled Java 8 SR5 FP15. All profiles and WebSphere infrastructure will be upgraded to use bundled Java 8.
Linux PPC64 LE does not support bundled Java 8 at this time, since the existing bundled Java on that platform is Java 7.1, and it is not going out of service yet. Please continue to use the Java 8 extension offering for your Java 8 needs on this platform.
