Can anyone provide a link for java requirements for version 8104? Our technical team is requiring us to upgrade our java but anything above 7 update 75 is crashing the system.

Is it web tier or the reporting server tier. If it is the web tier which application server are you using? (ie. Apache Tomcat, WebSphere)

I am using JDK version 8 with no issues using Apache Tomcat.

Per the installation guide...

JVM 6 is the minimum JVM version required for the WebFOCUS and ReportCaster application
servers, as well as the Distribution Server. If you use Apache Tomcat 8, Java 7 or higher is required on the WebFOCUS Client machine. The WebFOCUS Client installation can install JRE 8 for you. We recommend installing the JDK on a WebFOCUS Reporting Server machine.

Note: For all WebSphere releases, apply the IBM APAR patch to change the JSP compiler level to 6. For steps to apply the IBM APAR patch, go to How to Apply the IBM APAR on page 129.

A JRE contains a subset of JDK features and both the JRE and JDK are needed. When you install the JDK, a JRE is also installed by default. Accept default settings when you install the JDK.
If you use ReportCaster, it is recommended to install the provided JRE 8. The Distribution Server will automatically use that Java release.
Note:
Java SDK and JDK are synonymous.
Some application servers require a specific release of the JDK. If you are not using Tomcat, review the documentation for your application server to determine the JDK requirements.
