Installing IBM JDK on x86_64

[Former Member]

We are in the process of installing Solution Manager 7.0 on RedHat Linux 5.3. As recommended in Note 1172419 we downloaded IBM JDK IBMJava2-AMD64-142-SDK-1.4.2-12.0.x86_64.rpm from IBM website and installed it on Linux server. Now, when we check the "java -version" it is still showing the old version rather than IBM's jdk. Could you please tell how can we replace the old java with the new IBM java?

Thanks

Hi,

Check the PATH environment variable. Is it pointing to correct JAVA_HOME?

You need to update $PATH & $JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Hi Sachine,

Thank you for your prompt response.

I tried the following

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-1

export PATH=$PATH:/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-1/bin

but still it shows the old java version that is

java -version

java version "1.4.2"

gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)

Hi Sachin.

problem solved. I put the new JAVA_HOME and PATH in bash file. It is now displaying the correct jvm. Many thanks for your support.

Best regards
