Since you're running under sudo, you must ensure that the JVM is accessible through root's PATH and/or CLASSPATH settings. And also make sure that the IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS environment variable is not set.

Thanks . I have't set any value to env variable IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS and files are in accessible by root ID.

[wasadm@server Updater]$ echo $IBM_JAVA_OPTIONS

WebSphere services are also running in root ID only.

I was install successfully on base version and updated latest Linux image on server .

After, i started to run installUpdates -it's getting the below message.

The java executable was not found, aborting patch installation.

Now read the remainder of my previous post, especially the bit about PATH and CLASSPATH.
