Installing IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition Version 8.0
You can install IBM® WebSphere® SDK Java™ Technology Edition Version 8.0 using IBM Installation Manager Version 1.8.5 or later.
Before you begin
Important: This is an optional Java 8.0 component that was intended for use with
WebSphere Application Server for z/OS® Versions 8.5.5.9 through 8.5.5.13. It has not been updated since March
2020. Customers should migrate all application servers using this component to the embedded Java 8.0
in WebSphere Application Server for z/OS as soon as possible. Use the WebSphere administrative
console or the
managesdk.sh
command to switch all nodes and servers to a supported
Java level, then uninstall IBM
WebSphere SDK Java
Technology Edition Version 8.0.Procedure
What to do next
You can now install other WebSphere Application Server components or configure an application-serving environment.
Before you configure a previously configured WebSphere Application Server for z/OS application server node or management node to use the newly installed SDK, you must restart the node. The postinstaller will create required links from the configuration file system to the product file system that contains the new SDK.
