    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    The command line default Java of WebSphere Application Server
    plug-in 8.5.5.13 is configurated to the default Java 6 of the
    WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.13. During update
    Installation Manager calls Managesdk to use Java 8 to setup
    Java 8 properties. However, if WebSphere Application
    Server plug-in 8.5.5.13 is updated to 8.5.5.14 first,
    Managesdk will still calls the default Java 6 of WebSphere
    Application Server 8.5.5.13 instead of the new installed Java
    8 of WebSphere Application Server plug-in 8.5.5.14. This
    causes the java not found error and update failure.
    

Problem conclusion

  • The fix is to edit Java 8 properties directly instead of
    using Managesdk for supplemental offerings.
    
    The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
    fix pack 8.5.5.15  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
