ODWEK Upgrade - GSK Exception Error

[Ed_Arnold]

This one has bitten me a couple times:

AIX platform.

Symptoms:

Upgraded ODWEK production system to 10.5.0.6 immediately getting the following error in the system.out log when trying to login to the system: 

Exception: Failed to initialize the GSKit. Ensure proper installation of the GSKit and configuration of the environment.
        at com.ibm.edms.od.ODServer.logon(ODServer.java:1032)
        at com.ibm.edms.od.ODServer.logon(ODServer.java:934)
        ....and a bunch more of these type messages

Resolution:  Upgrade Java

IJ17282: IBMJCEPLUS NAME SPACE CHANGE FOR GSKIT

The fix was delivered for Java 8.0 SR5 FP40

The affected jar is "ibmjceplus.jar"
