Updating a WebSphere Commerce clustered environment to use Java 8
Review the following section to learn how to update your clustered WebSphere Commerce runtime environment to use IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition, Version 8.
Important: If you need to continue to receive support for
WebSphere Application Server, you must upgrade to WebSphere Application Server to version 8.5.5 with
Java 8. Earlier versions of WebSphere Application Server are no longer supported. You can only
update to use IBM SDK, Java Technology Edition Version 8 if your existing WebSphere Commerce runtime
instance is on WebSphere Commerce version 7 Feature Pack 6, 7, or 8, and has Fix Pack 9 installed.
For information about updating to Feature Pack 8, see Installing WebSphere Commerce feature packs.
Before you begin
- Ensure that you meet the WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5 system requirements. For more information, see Hardware and software requirements.
