IBM Sterling Control Center (SCC) APAR IT10907 - July 2015 JRE Upgrade - Sept 2015
================================================================================

This APAR provides the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) only, with instructions 
on how to install it in the Customer's environment. This brings the JRE to the 
Java 1.7 SR9 FP10 fix level from the Oracle Java July 2015 security refresh.

Alternately, the Customer may check the fixlist of the latest iFix cumulative 
maintenance package on Fix Central to see if it includes this level of Java.

        tar -xvf JRE.tar
      Windows: 
        Use WinZip or equivalent to extract from the JRE.zip file.

 3. Verify the version of Java works and is the one expected by the Security
    Advisory:
    
    UNIX:    jre/bin/java -version
    Windows: jre\bin\java -version
    
    See the description at the top of this README file for the version.

    b) Rename the jre directory to jre_new, and jre_old to jre, and restart.
