This APAR ships a JDK iFix on the Java 8.0.7.6 JDK base level with the following changes:
Java IJ39703 / Security IJ38324 -
Key Certificate Manager Authority Key Identifier value incorrect
IJ39631 - JSTACKTRACE SUB-OPTION OF XTRACE DOESN'T PRINT JAVA STACK WHILE DOING METHOD TRACE
ERROR DESCRIPTION:
SHIP JDK IJ39703, IJ39631 AS AN IFIX FOR WAS V8.5.5.X - BUNDLED
LOCAL FIX:
None
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
SHIP JDK IJ39703, IJ39631 AS AN IFIX FOR WAS V8.5.5.X - BUNDLED
USERS AFFECTED:
IBM WebSphere Application Server Version 8.5 users
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
SHIP JDK IJ39703, IJ39631 AS AN IFIX FOR WAS V8.5.5.X - BUNDLED
RECOMMENDATION:
NOTE: It is recommended that you consult IBM support before applying this iFix. Apply this interim fix to your SDK to upgrade or install bundled Java 8 to Java 8 SR7 FP6 + IJ39703 + IJ39631.
This interim fix includes two possible upgrade scenarios:
a) If applied to WebSphere 8.5.5.11 or later where bundled Java 8 is installed, it will upgrade your bundled Java 8 to SR7 FP6 + IJ39703 + IJ39631.
b) If applied to WebSphere 8.5.5.11 or later where the original Java 6 is installed, it will remove Java 6 and replace it with bundled Java 8 SR7 FP6 + IJ39703 + IJ39631. All profiles and WebSphere infrastructure will be upgraded to use bundled Java 8.
As of 8.5.5.19, Linux PPC64 LE now supports bundled Java 8. Please discontinue use of the extension offering Java 8 and move to use the bundled java 8.
NOTE:
On AIX, Linux, and Windows: In WebSphere 8.5 or 8.5.5, using Java 6, 7, and 7.1, the java.security file was not serviceable, meaning that it was not replaced when a fix pack or an interim fix was applied. With Java 8, that file became serviceable, so it will be overwritten with fix packs and interim fixes. When applying this interim fix the WAS_HOME/java1.8_xx/jre/lib/security/java.security file will be backed up and placed at WAS_HOME/java1.8_xx/jre/lib/security/java.security.bak. If you have previously updated this file, you will need to merge your changes into the new copy.
On z/OS: The java.security file was always serviceable. Since no behavior change was implemented, no backup will be created.
PROBLEM CONCLUSION:
Applying this apar will upgrade or install bundled Java 8 to Java 8 SR7 FP6 (Oracle 1.8.0_u321) + IJ39703 + IJ39631.
The fixes in this Java SDK are found here + IJ39703 + IJ39631.
When downloading the fix from fix central, please also download the readme.txt with instructions for installation.
This Java SDK level was minimally tested with WebSphere 8.5.5.18.
