I have a task to update 8.5.5.2 web sphere to 8.5.5.14 on a windows 2008 server. I have java 1.7 already installed (and java 6 as well) and all the profiles uses it.
How ever when i try to apply fix patch using IBM installation manager, by default it's installing Java 8 which is not supported on windows 2008.
Is there a way where i can by pass java 8 and install only the fix patch (8.5.5.14) from installation manager.
Any pointer/help would be really appreciated. Thanks.
Installation Manager Screenshot:
No, WebSphere 8.5.5.14 requires Java 8, and Java 8 is not supported on Windows 2008 Server. If you must stay with Windows 2008 you can't update WebSphere past 8.5.5.13. More detail here: IBM WebSphere SDK Java Technology Edition 8.0 Minimum Supported Operating Systems
This is what IBM documentation ( https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27045339 ) says, I did some shortcuts to make key points easier to notice in a long article:
In 8.5.5.14 and later, it is planned that (Java8) SDK will be required for all new installations and all updates (fixpacks).
In 8.5.5.14 (...) prior operating system releases (such as Windows 2008 (...) ) will no longer be supported.
So unfortunately what you are trying to do is not supported:
Although Java7 is still fine as a runtime environment for your servers, for example if your business application is not yet Java8 compatible, you need to have Java8 installed as a default JVM for Websphere 8.5.5.14 "internal" requirements.
You cant have IBM's Java8 installed in Windows2008, which is mandatory for Websphere 8.5.5.14, that means you cant install Websphere 8.5.5.14.
In the end, I would like to remind you, that you can upgrade to a previous release: 8.5.5.13. Version 8.5.5.13 is 11 fixpacks newer than what you already have, maybe it will suffice for your needs.
Bottom line - upgrade windows to a current version that's not 11 years old. Or, better yet, put it on Linux. WAS is great on Linux! Red Hat, Suse, OpenSuse, Fedora, CentOS are good flavors.
I am trying to install SQL Developer on Windows 32-bit. Which requires Java 8 JDK, but only 64-bit and above versions are available in downloads. How can I download the JDK 8 32-bit version?
Here Is download Link
Java SE Development Kit 8u101
Go for Windows x86

Why does x86 represent 32bit
The best solution I could find for this is to download an earlier version of SQL Developer. I installed 3.2.2 version from the link below.

i am currently using Oracle sql developer version 1.5.5.59, in some time my O.S. is going to migrate from WinXP to Windows 7 [64 bit] can anyone suggest me how to check/find whether Oracle version 1.5.5.59 need to be upgrade or not?
Thanks
I have checked Oracle sql developer 1.5.5.59 is compatible with Win 7 [64 bit]
We are upgrading our application and if we use Sun JDK on local it works and its failing on DEV box. we have IBM jdk on our DEV box. What is the SUN equivalent JDK that Websphere 7 has?
WebSphere 7 supports Java6 and JEE5.
However, it requires Java versions shipped with WebSphere itself. (Most are IBM's own Java SDKs, although I think the Solaris version of WebSphere might ship with Oracle's Java.)
The Sun JDK 7 or 6 - both include the JavaDB database as part of the jdk. Does anyone know if the IBM jdk 7 ships with any such database or we can just use Apache Derby?
thanks.
