For some reason, we need to install WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.9 with Java 8.
We downloaded the local repository for WebSphere 8.5.5.0.
We downloaded the local repository for fix pack 9 (8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP0000009-part1.zip 8.5.5-WS-WAS-FP0000009-part2.zip) and Java 8 (8.0.2.10-WS-IBMWASJAVA-Win.zip) from here: https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/8559-websphere-application-server-v855-fix-pack-9
In Installation Manager, I added the local repositories for the downloaded packages. Seems like I have to use the following steps to install:
1) With Installation Manager, install WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.9 with Java SDK 6 first.
2) Then, before I create any profile, I run Installation Manager again to install Java 8 (8.0.2.10-WS-IBMWASJAVA-Win.zip)
3) After installation, I use the command manageSdks to
Set the command default to the Version 8.0 SDK: managesdk -setCommandDefault -sdkname 1.8_64
Set the new profile default to the Version 8.0 SDK: managesdk -setNewProfileDefault -sdkname 1.8_64
4) I then create profiles. New profile will be using Java 8 as default.
Is this the best way to install WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.9 with Java 8?
