How to find and install right java for ECC6 intstallation on AIX5.3

[Former Member]

Hello

I wander how to find and install right java for ECC6 intstallation on AIX5.3. I went thruroughly thru note 723909 and underlying 716927, 1008311 and 1039948 notes but I still do not understand.

I guess I should logon to IBM site http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/aix/service.html

where I can choose :

" Java 1.4.2 64-bit "

and then :

"64-bit SDK 1.4.2 base images (at 1.4.2.0 level; in installp format) "->"Base SDK (required)

Java14_64.sdk.tar ((50001920)

"

then I assume (on AIX ) I should "tar xvf Java14_64.sdk.tar".

then I get extracted "Java14_64.sdk"

Is this ok?

I know on Linux(

from IBM site I downloaded "IBMJava2-amd64-142.rpm"

then I issued

"rpm -i IBMJava2-amd64-142.rpm "

and finally issued

"export JAVA_HOME=/opt/IBMJava2-amd64-142")

What in case of AIX5.3? Could you help me?

Hello

The issue is whether to use the above proposed SDK(i.e Java14_64.sdk.tar (67194880)

) or the one proposed in note 1008311 (i.e.Java14_64.sdk.tar.gz)from

"https://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/iwm/web/preLogin.do?lang=en_US

&source=swg-ibmjavaisv

"

My intention is to install an ECC system using media for SAP ERP 6.0 SR3

I now wander if this is in line with note 1008311 which assumes SDK is for netweaver 7.0 SR2 and J2EE version is <=640 SP23 or <=700 SP18 or <=701 SP3-BUT I am installing only ECC (no J2EE under my opignion)

(I guess for ECC I do not need JCE unrestricted policy files-if I need I do not find it on IBM site so I asume I can use the one on SUN site)

Furthermore I do not know how to treat then the tar files(in second case there are more files). How to install SDK on an AIX machine?

first do java -version on your host and see what Java version you are having as you might already have it on your host.

You should be able to get the readme file from IBM site from where you have downloaded the java.

OS will have default java may be java 5, but if you want to install SAP then you must have to use the Java version mentioned in SAP installation guide. We also have AIX 6 and using java IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.4.2, even though there is java5 installed.

so I see that Java is already installed on the host. So set the path for java 1.4( this is the only supported version ) in your env variables and start the installation.

go to service.sap.com/pam select your product and you can find the java info under JSE Platforms.
