I have installed ibm jdk(1.8) in my linux system. I have installed WebSphere ND 8.5.5.7 in the same system. Now I want the WebSphere jdk to be upgraded to 1.8. For that I need to run managesdk command. So , I checked this link https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSWSR9_11.5.0/com.ibm.swg.im.mdmhs.release.install.doc/Topics/InstallingJava.html In this link it is stated that I need to have java_ folder inside my WAS home.But I have installed the jdk in a different path . So how to progress ,so that I can run managesdk command to upgrade WAS jdk ?

Are you trying to add a Oracle JDK to Websphere? Or did you install an IBM JDK? – hinneLinks Dec 01 '15 at 14:01

"Super User" or "Unix & Linux" might be a better forum for this question. – ventsyv Dec 01 '15 at 15:01

It's webshere network deployment 8.5.5.7 ..are you saying jdk 1.8 won't work with it ?Even if I use jdk 1.7 how to make it available for websphere? – Ayan Biswas Dec 01 '15 at 18:24

1I'm saying that WAS classic ND 8.5.5.7 will not run with a Java 8 SDK. It isn't an install option and WAS classic ND 8.5.5.7 only runs with the Java SDKs that are installable via IBM Installation Manager. You can use Java 6 or Java 7, but there is no Java 8 option for running the WAS classic server. – Alasdair Dec 01 '15 at 18:32

It seems that I needed to install IBM sdk through IBM installation Manager. – Ayan Biswas Dec 02 '15 at 11:38
