Yesterday, I've downloaded and install the free trial version of WAS v7. The version I've downloaded is 7.0.0.9 but I need to certify my application against 7.0.0.3.
Where can I get this version?
UPDATED: It turns out that what I really needed was WebSphere Application Server for Developpers
It's working!
Now it can be downloaded from HERE
This link provides a Windows or Linux version of WebSphere 7.0.0.0 for development testing.
WebSphere Application Server for Developers V7
This link provides Fix Pack 3 for Windows (a Linux version of the fix pack is also available.)

Websphere Application server(BASE version 8.5.5.12) servers not started After upgrade IBM SDK from 8.0.4.5 to 8.0.5.27, App's are up with SDK 8.0.4.5 with out any issue's, issue with only after upgrade the SDK 8.0.5.27.
Nothing to be recorded in the logs. can you please assist so why we are facing this issue.
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 looking at the latest websphere liberty 8.5.5.7 full platform (https://developer.ibm.com/wasdev/downloads/liberty-profile-using-non-eclipse-environments/) and I wonder if it can run oracle java 8? I see on the download page that ibms java 8 only supports the web profile but I don't care if i run a jdk from oracle or ibm as long as it is version 8.
Historically websphere has demanded ibms jdk on linux and solaris.
I have search ibms site but not found any answer.
Yes we support running Liberty on non-IBM JVMs, including those from Oracle. As for the downloads from IBM that come bundled with Java 8 you can use that with more than the web profile (you can use the installUtility to download and install the full Java EE 7 platform onto the web profile install).
I have installed RAD 7.0 on win 7 64 bit, with WebSphere v5.1 Test Environment, sometimes its start but most of the times hit 'Server WebSphere v5.1 Test Environment Test Environment # localhost failed to start', how can check this, anyone can guide for this,
My experience only goes back to WAS v6 but assuming 5.1 is the same there will be a log folder for your server, as a subfolder wherever your WAS 5.1 profile is located. RAD should be able to show you where those folders are, and maybe even be able to open the main log file for you.
WAS v7 was released in 2008 and v5.1 would be far older. I would strongly encourage you to upgrade to v8.5 if at all possible.
WAS 5.1 is old and is not supported on windows 7. It is highly recommended to upgrade to v7.0 or higher. But if you still want to troubleshoot the logs should be under WAS_HOME/logs//
I am using WebSphere application server 5.1 in RAD 7.1. Now I want to migrate to RAD 8.0 but RAD 8.0 do not provide support to WebSphere application server 5.X. Please help on this
WebSphere Application Server 5.1 is not supported for many years now and as you saw it is also not supported in any newer RAD. I'd suggest to migrate to newer server version as soon as possible.
If you need to develop for WAS 5.1, then stick with RAD 7. Eventually you can develop with newer RAD, but you will need to install applications to server manually via web console or wsadmin.
