Download jdk1.8.0_121, unzip it and make sure to set your Environmental Variable path to point to the new jdk1.8.0_121 home.

You won't need to make any changes to any file. See the documentation for step by step of how to install your new jdk and make it work.

To install the latest supported JDK:Change directory to the location where you downloaded the JDK archive file.cd download_dirUnzip the archive into the JDK home directory.tar -xzvf jdk-8u40-linux-x64.tar.gzMove the JDK directory to the recommended location in the directory structure:For example:mv download_dir/jdk1.8.0_40 /u01/oracle/products/jdkDefine the JAVA_HOME and PATH environment variables for running Java on the host computer.For example:export JAVA_HOME=/u01/oracle/products/jdkexport PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATHRun the following command to verify that the appropriate Java executable is in the path and your environment variables are set correctly:java -versionYou see the output such as the following:java version "1.8.0_40"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_40-b19)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.40-b23, mixed mode)You have successfully installed a supported JDK on your system.

so my question was that the OBIEE 12C is already installed using jdk1.8.0.92

now if I want to change it using the procedure you described will it change the jdk inside the weblogic server as well
