Resolution

1. After installing SP7, before starting TSIM, replace existing links (java.policy, java.security and javaws.policy) in ~/Axway/Java/aix-power/jre8_u03_64/lib/security/ (Axway Installer location) with the files from archive java_policy_security_files.zip.
2. Replace the links (jmxremote.access, jmxremote.password.template, management.properties and snmp.acl.template ) in ~/Axway/Java/aix-power/jre8_u03_64/lib/management with the files from java_management_files.zip
3. Replace the links (jaxp.properties.sample, logging.properties and xerces.properties) in ~/Axway/Java/aix-power/jre8_u03_64/lib/ with the files from java_properties_files.zip
