If you have not already installed, install V10.0 Fix Pack 2 (see the Fix Pack download document). If you upgrade to Version 10.0.0.2 after you update IBM Java Runtime, your changes are lost and you must repeat the steps.
If you have not upgraded IBM Java Runtime from Version 7 to Version 8, download the 32-bit (or 31-bit, if you use Linux on System z) and 64-bit packages of IBM Java Runtime, Version 8 package for your edition (Enterprise or Advanced) and operating system from Fix Central: interim fix 10.0.0.2-WS-WatsonExplorer-<Edition>Analytical-<OS>[32|31]-8SR6FP10(for example, 10.0.0.2-WS-WatsonExplorer-AEAnalytical-Linux-8SR6FP10, which includes 64-bit version of IBM Java Runtime). Follow the steps in Updating WebSphere Liberty and IBM Java Runtime used in IBM Watson Explorer Analytical Components to upgrade IBM Java Runtime from Version 7 to Version 8.
Download the 32-bit (or 31-bit, if you use Linux on System z) and 64-bit packages of IBM Java Runtime, Version 8 package for your edition (Enterprise or Advanced) and operating system from Fix Central: interim fix 10.0.0.2-WS-WatsonExplorer-<Edition>Analytical-<OS>[32|31]-8SR6FP25or later (for example, 10.0.0.2-WS-WatsonExplorer-AEAnalytical-Linux-8SR6FP25, which includes 64-bit version of IBM Java Runtime).
To apply the fix, follow the steps in Updating IBM Java Runtime.
