IBM Java for x86_64

[Former Member]

Hello,

I found the following:

_________________________________

Install the special IBM SAP jvm from

https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?source=javasap

(need to login with my home email and usual pass, get the one for AMD64)

(avail also on thor is/sap-downloads/IBM-jvm and /mnt/sapcd/ibm-jvms once mounted)

rpm -Uvh rpm -Uvh /mnt/sapcd/java_installers/IBM-jvm/IBMJava2-AMD64-142-SDK-1.4.2-7.0.x86_64.rpm

copy the ibm conf file (made by thib)

cp /mnt/sapcd/java_installers/IBM-jvm/IBMJava2.conf /etc/java

and then run SetDefaultJava to get java linked

Then run

source setJava Java2

to get java setup and added to your env right away. (NOTE do this in ALL open shells)

(verify java is installed java -version shoudl work)

__________________________________

There is also a parameter that one can set : something like SAPINST_JRE_HOME (dont remember the exact environment variable name) where one can point to the JAVA HOME of the installed JAVA.

QUESTION: MUST java -version spit out the IBM specified java in order for the installation to work? If so, then what is the use of the SAPINST_JRE_HOME? In other words will

SAPINST_JRE_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142/jre

JRE_JHOME=/lib64/jvm/jre

in my .bashrc file actually work together? I only ask because it seems as though FVWM seems to have problems with the IBM jre (it spits out error messages) whenever JRE_HOME=IBM JRE.

TIA
