Prerequisites and co-requisites
This upgrade for the Robotic Response Time agents, which is part of ITCAM for Transactions: Response Time, might 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 might 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:
- Version 7.4.0.1
- Version 7.4.0.2
- 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 customizations done to the existing JREs need to be preserved. Since these JREs are product-specific (ie only used by the T6 agent), there can only be at most one customization as instructed by IBM support, which is to enable strong encryption by updating the JRE's encryption policy (see technote in Installing).
This patch only includes Java70 and Java80 updates. After the patch, the Java versions will be:
- Java 7.0 SR10 FP85
- Java 8.0 SR06 FP30

Installation information
Before Installing
Validate pre-existing Java70 and Java80 are older than ones delivered in this interim fix.
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 the versions, for example
C:\ibm\itm\TMAITM6> .\java80\jre\bin\java.exe -version

Installing
Notes
- If you have updated the T6 JRE to use strong encryption, you must manually back up 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
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/85585
See technote - Does the RRT agent support TLS 1.1/1.2 and 256-bit ciphers?
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/529695
- 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 is:
Windows - c:\IBM\ITM\TMAITM6>dir java*Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is 44AB-01FC

- Unzip/Untar the archive to the same directory, for example, after unarchiving your directory structure is:
- Validate the updated JRE version/function
- Check version number of JRE 7.0, for example
