Hi,

I've looked into the documentation for you and found:

ftp://ftp.sap.com/pub/sapgui/java/710r8/README.htm

and found:

For details please refer to the manual (chapter "3. System Requirements" and "4. Installation").

The documentation is available in the /doc folder after installing the GUI via

java -jar PlatinGUI.jar

Thanks,

Hannes

the command is

java -version

You are still using the GnuJava and not the correct one.

Adapt your PATH and JAVA_HOME so it points to the Java version you installed in /opt

Yes - as you see this is GNU java, not Sun Java - and Gnu java is not supported for a SAPGUI installation.

> [root@linux opt]# java -jar PlatinGUI-Linux-710r6.jar

you have to set JAVA_HOME to the root of where you installed it.

so

export JAVA_HOME=/opt/<path-you-installed>

then edit your path:

export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

now "java -version" should output the Sun Java version.

Yes - because you don't adapt the paths. This is normal with all Unix based system and nothing special to Redhat.

> and kindly tell me the file name where is have to set java environmental variable

Did you read my previous post?

Java 1.4.2 will not work, you need to use Java 5.0

Dear Sadiq,

there is no option coming for giving point.
