Hello
I would like to share this with you since I wasted a lot time due to the lack of Linux knowledge when Hyperion products Installed on Linux machines.
I have upgraded JDK 6 to JDK 7 for the compatibility of April 2020 Weblogic Critical Patch and after upgrading on both Linux and Windows Machines I could not start the Weblogic Console in Linux machines.
The user which I am using as service account does not have super user access and Weblogic Console is unable to access JAVA.exe file from the JDK folder. It took me some time that we should have write access to the Java file which is existed in the JDK bin folder as below.
How to update the write access using Linux command "chmod a+x java"
Please follow the below url as a reference when there is any upgrade in the JDK & Weblogic

Update JDK Linux
================
Extract server-jre-7u221-<OS_VERSION>.tar.gz from the patch to the <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> directory. There is no need to install Java, you can just lift the binaries into place.
Create links in the Middleware directory so that both Oracle/Middleware/jdk160_35 and Oracle/Middleware/jrockit_160_37 both refer to jdk1.7.0_221
On Unix:
From a shell prompt change directory to /Oracle/Middleware and execute the following two commands:
ln -s jdk1.7.0_221 jdk160_35
ln -s jdk1.7.0_221 jrockit_160_37
Change directory to /Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin/deploymentScripts and backup all scripts. Modify each of the setCustomParamsProduct.sh scripts and add the -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures option before the existing -XX:-FlightRecorder parameter. In Java 7 you need to add the -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures parameter in order to use FlightRecorder.
Linux:
Make a backup of the setEmpEnv.sh (Unix) file and then make the following modification:
Change: set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS%
To: set JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:-FlightRecorder %JAVA_OPTIONS%
==================
Update JDK Windows
==================
Extract server-jre-7u221-<OS_VERSION>.tar.gz from the patch to the <MIDDLEWARE_HOME> directory. There is no need to install Java, you can just lift the binaries into place.
Create links in the Middleware directory so that both Oracle/Middleware/jdk160_35 and Oracle/Middleware/jrockit_160_37 both refer to jdk1.7.0_221
On Windows:
Rename these folders jdk160_35 and jrockit_160_37 under \Oracle\Middleware folder (Note: Need to stop services to perform this step)
From a cmd prompt change directory to \Oracle\Middleware and execute the following two commands:
mklink /D jdk160_35 jdk1.7.0_221
mklink /D jrockit_160_37 jdk1.7.0_221
Change Directory to \Oracle\Middleware\jdk1.7.0_221\jre\bin and execute the following command
mklink /D jrockit server
Change directory to /Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/epmsystem1/bin/deploymentScripts and backup all scripts. Modify each of the setCustomParamsProduct.bat scripts and add the -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures option before the existing -XX:-FlightRecorder parameter. In Java 7 you need to add the -XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures parameter in order to use FlightRecorder.
Failure to add the new option may result in your WebLogic Web Apps failing to start.
The following steps are necessary to run the WebLogic Admin Server and to be able to start an App via the startManagedWebLogic.cmd script. All Windows Services should already be functional at this point.
Change directory to D:\Oracle\Middleware\user_projects\domains\EPMSystem\bin
Windows ONLY:
Make a backup of the startWebLogic.cmd file and then make the following modification:
Add the line set JAVA_VM=-server directly below the line that reads @REM START WEBLOGIC
Example:
@REM START WEBLOGIC
set JAVA_VM=-server
Make a backup of the setDomainEnv.cmd file and then make the following modification:
Change: set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=%EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Dem.oracle.home=D:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common -Djava.awt.headless=true
To: set EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES=-XX:PermSize=64m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m %EXTRA_JAVA_PROPERTIES% -Dem.oracle.home=D:\Oracle\Middleware\oracle_common -Djava.awt.headless=true
Make a backup of startManagedWeblogic.cmd and then make the following modification:
Uncomment this line: @REM Set JAVA_VM=-server
Comment this line: set JAVA_VM
Windows:
Make a backup of the setEpmEnv.cmd (Windows) file and then make the following modification:
Change: set JAVA_OPTIONS=%JAVA_OPTIONS%
To: set JAVA_OPTIONS=-XX:+UnlockCommercialFeatures -XX:-FlightRecorder %JAVA_OPTIONS%
