upgrading server java

3363076

hi expert ,

I am very new to OBIEE so I have a question and please if anyone can explain it step by step that will be great

I have just installed obiee 12c using jdk-8u92 but now my Manager told me that they are planning to upgrade the server java( I am talking about Linux ) to jdk-8u121

and they are asking me to upgrade the server java

So my questions

1 )  how can I upgrade server java

2 ) if I upgrade server java to jdk-8u121 will it affect the obiee because there I have used jdk-8u92

3 ) Do I need to upgrade obiee( 12C)  java to jdk-8u121 and If yes how can I do it because everytime I try to do it the node manager doesn't work

Thanks

Hello,

Please go through the below for how to change.

1 )  how can I upgrade server java

-- just download the .tar.gz and unzip it in a new directory

2 ) if I upgrade server java to jdk-8u121 will it affect the obiee because there I have used jdk-8u92

-- No, it wont affect until you change the environment variables and the config files as part of "making the OBIEE to use the new JDK"

3 ) Do I need to upgrade obiee( 12C)  java to jdk-8u121 and If yes how can I do it because everytime I try to do it the node manager doesn't work

If you mean to upgrade the JDK inside $ORACLE_HOME/bi , you can still do that. It should not cause any errors to the nodemanager as long as the JDK you use is supported.

i was trying to apply patches to my obiee 12c but  its showing the error which is  " The isntallation jdk 1.8.0_92 which is the old one is not accessible

i upgraded that to 1.8.0_121 but when i am setting the environment variable for opatch it still wants the jdk 1.8.0_92 and its not the picking the new one which is 1.8.0_121so how can i make it works so that it work with the new jdk
