1. Download IBM JRE 8.0 from the following location:

http://www.ibm.com/support/fixcentral. (The followings steps are using x86_64 as an example.)

2. Copy the tar package into the PM server host.

3. Log on the PM server host as root, stop jfd.

jadmin stop

4. On the PM server host, extract new JRE files and replace old folders with new ones.

chmod +x ibm-java-x86_64-jre-8.0-5.27.bin

./ibm-java-x86_64-jre-8.0-5.27.bin

mv /opt/ppm/10.2/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/jre /opt/ppm/10.2/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/jre-old

mkdir -p /opt/ppm/10.2/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/jre

cp -r ibm-java-x86_64-80/* /opt/ppm/10.2/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/jre

mv /opt/ppm/10.2/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/jre/jre/bin /opt/ppm/10.2/linux2.6-glibc2.3-x86_64/jre
