Prerequisites and co-requisites
This upgrade for the Robotic Response Time agents , which is part of ITCAM for Transactions: Response Time, may be applied to the following base versions. It must be applied to a machine on which Robotic Response Time agent has been installed.
- 7.4.0.1 - AIX, Linux, Windows
- 7.4.0.2 - AIX, Linux, Windows
- Supported base versions include interim fixes applied to any of the above release levels.
- This interim fix is a quarterly SDK update. The update replaces the Java SDK without changing the product version. This interim fix may be applied to versions 7.4.0.1 and 7.4.0.2.
This patch replaces the two JREs shipped with the Robotic Response Time (T6) agent, bringing them to the latest level. This remediates multiple security issues.
This patch is applicable for T6 agents:
- versions 7.4.0.x
- Windows, AIX and Linux platforms.
The T6's JREs are only used when playing back Rational Performance Tester (RPT) scripts, thus not available on Solaris and HPUX (RPT playback is not supported on Solaris and HPUX). 7.4 agent needs to update java 80 and java 70 JREs. These variations are noted in the installation steps below. Any customisations done to the existing JREs needs to be preserved. Since these JREs are product specific (ie only used by the T6 agent), there should only be at most one customisation as instructed by IBM support, which is to enable strong encryption by updating the JRE's encryption policy (see technote in Installing ).
After the patch, the Java versions will be(This patch only includes java70 and java80 updates):
- Java 7.0 SR10 FP50
- Java 8.0 SR05 FP40

Installation information
Before Installing
Validate pre-existing java70 and java80 are older than ones delivered in this IFix.
The RRT Agent's javas are located in
- Windows:
- java70: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java70
- java80: $ITMHOME\tmaitm6\java80 - only in 7.4.0.1-IF8 and later
- Unix:
- java70: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java70
- java80: $ITMHOME/tmaitm6/java80 - only in 7.4.0.1-IF8 and later
Check their versions, for example
C:\ibm\itm\TMAITM6> .\java80\jre\bin\java.exe -version
java version "1.8.0_151"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 8.0.5.7 - pwi3280sr5fp7-20171216_01(SR5 FP7)) IBM J9 VM (build 2.9, JRE 1.8.0 Windows Server 2008 R2 x86-32 20171215_373586 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)

Installing
Notes
- If you have updated the T6 JRE to use strong encryption, you must manually backup the policy files and copy them to the new JREs. The two files are:
\lib\security\local_policy.jar \lib\security\US_export_policy.jar
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21245273
See Technote - Does the RRT agent support TLS 1.1/1.2 and 256-bit ciphers?
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21960133
- Back up existing java70 and java80
- Stop the T6 agent
- Backup existing java jres, for example
> On Windows - cd c:\IBM\ITM\tmaitm6\
> On Linux or Unix - cd /opt/IBM/ITM/tmaitm6
> move java70 java70.old
> move java80 java80.old - only in 7.4.0.1-IF8 and later.
- Replace the JREs
- Unzip/Untar the archive to the same directory, for example, after unarchiving your directory structure should be like:
Windows - c:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6>dir java*
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 44AB-01FC
Directory of c:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6

- If applicable, copy the following unrestricted policy files from the "java70.old" and "java80.old" directories to the new "java70" and "java80" directories:
Windows :
java70.old\lib\security\local_policy.jar to java70\lib\security
java70.old\lib\security\US_export_policy.jar to java70\lib\security
java80.old\lib\security\local_policy.jar to java80\lib\security
java80.old\lib\security\US_export_policy.jar to java80\lib\security
Linux or Unix :
java70.bak/lib/security/local_policy.jar to java70/lib/security
java70.bak/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar to java70/lib/security
java80.bak/lib/security/local_policy.jar to java80/lib/security
java80.bak/lib/security/US_export_policy.jar to java80/lib/security
- Unzip/Untar the archive to the same directory, for example, after unarchiving your directory structure should be like:
- Validate the updated JRE version/function
- Check version number of JRE 7.0, for example
> java70\jre\bin\java.exe -version
