  *                      IBM Java 7 to WAS 8.5.5.14, IBM         *
  *                      Java 7 architecture is switched from    *

  ****************************************************************
  From WAS 8.5.5.14 Java 8 is the only default Java. Because
  Solaris Sparc OS only supports 64-bit Java 8 the architecture
  of WAS 8.5.5.14 for Solaris Sparc OS will only support 64-bit
  architecture as well. After update, the WAS 8.5.5.14
  architecture is changed from 32-bit to 64-bit and this changing
  causes the architecture changing of IBM Java 7.
  

Problem conclusion

• The fix is to keep the architecture of IBM Java 7 as 32-bit if
  the previous architecture is 32-bit.
  
  The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
  fix pack 8.5.5.15.  Please refer to the Recommended Updates
