Our WAS85 JVM is using non bundled IBM java, at /opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java_1.8_64/
updating the WAS fixpack is only updating bundled java(/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java/)
how do I update the non bundled java?
I got the latest IBM SDK at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/java-sdk-downloads-version-80
using the console installation,
Can I just provide the above path during the java install to to update the java SDK?
================== Choose Install Folder
Where would you like to install?
Default Install Folder: /tmp/ibm-java-i386-80
ENTER AN ABSOLUTE PATH, OR PRESS TO ACCEPT THE DEFAULT :/opt/IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/java_1.8_64/
Since WebSphere 8.5.5.14, Java 8 is the default SDK included in the product. There is no longer separate SDK needed, and it is automatically updated when you update WebSphere.
Please install latest fixpack from here https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/6473497 And your SDK 1.8 will be updated to the latest release.
