This article illustrates how to install WebSphere Application Server V8.5.5 Fix Pack 12 on HP-UX 11.31. If you want to upgrade the JAVA version on your WAS ND 8.5.5.x from 1.8 to 1.8 then first you need to apply the minimum fix pack 9. Here I have applied the fix pack 12 on my WAS ND 8.5.5.0.
Prerequisites
Version 8.5.0.x or 8.5.5.x must be installed before installing Fix Pack 8.5.5.12.
Check the Installed version of WAS ND
