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.

    https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1221/core/BIEIG/GUID-E6545BC6-D0BF-4521-B3E7-160ABBBB6CD3.htm#BIEIG-GUID-6DA41DE4-22A3-4E0A-8D65-2A39AE74962D

    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.
