An application server may start using an unexpected Java
Software Developer &#243;&#212;&#233;&#188;&#212;&#228;&#243;s Kit (SDK) after updating the embedde
Java SDK from version 6.0 to 8.0.
The problem can occur on Distributed platforms after swinging
a profile to a WSAS installation having a different embedded
SDK; and on z/OS after either mounting a different
configuration file system or changing an intermediate symlink
to a different configuration file system, where the mount
point or symlink connect to a product installation that lacks
the necessary SDK.
When a server uses an unexpected Java SDK it may fail
inexplicably at anytime during its lifecycle. Such failures are
difficult to determine as their symptoms often manifest long
after server startup and may not infer their root cause.
APAR PI78941 will emit warning WSVR0710 if it detects the
server is using a Java SDK that differs from the SDK enabled
in the server or profile configurations.

Problem conclusion

APAR PI78941 emits warning WSVR0710 whenever an application
server uses a Java SDK that differs from the SDK enabled in
the server or profile configurations.

The fix for this APAR is currently targeted for inclusion in
fix packs 8.5.5.12 and 9.0.0.4.  Please refer to the
