Hi all,

Application Server : IBM WAS version is 8.5
AAOD : 7.0.0.1801

The runtime export for IBM websphere has files archived as "runtimeSupportWebSphere.zip\lib\ext".
I don't quite perceive the AAOD docuemntation regarding this.

"Extract or unzip the run-time support files to one of the following locations:
• For an IBM WebSphere or WebSphere Express run-time environment:
WebSphereHome\AppServer\ where WebSphereHome is the directory in which you installed the IBM WebSphere servlet engine software"

If we do this, the files will be unzipped to 'ext' folder and not to the 'lib' in the WAS Server home.
Don't we need to extract all the files to "C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\lib" ?

Also, WAS version is 8.5 and default JDK version is 6.0. Does this suffice or Is JDK 7.0 required?

Thanks.

You perceived the documentation correctly. The files would end up in the ext directory NOT the lib.
For 7.0.18, Java 7.0 is not required. But for later version (7.0.1 and up), you would have to have Java 7. I believe Websphere 8.5 gives you the option to install Java 7.
