Java Issues in AIX 6.1

[Former Member]

I'm doing a heterogeneous system copy of ECC6/Oracle 10.2.0.2 & Solution Manager 7.0/Oracle 10.2.0.2 from SUN Microsystems to IBM AIX 6.1. The database in AIX will still be Oracle.

The java version in AIX is 1.5 whereas its 1.4.2 in the SUN box

1. java -version

java version "1.5.0"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build pap32devifx-20110211b (SR12 FP3 +IZ94331))

IBM J9 VM (build 2.3, J2RE 1.5.0 IBM J9 2.3 AIX ppc-32 j9vmap3223ifx-20101130 (JIT enabled)

J9VM - 20101129_69669_bHdSMr

JIT - 20100623_16197ifx1_r8

GC - 20100211_AA)

JCL - 20110208

root@DEV # java -version

java version "1.4.2_09"

Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_09-b05)

Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_09-b05, mixed mode)

root@DEV

I know SAP instalation won't work with java 1.5.

1) Do I need to downgrade java in AIX to 1.4.2_xx ? How do I go about doing this ?

2) Where can I download java 1.4.2_xx for AIX 6.1 ? kindly provide the website

Thanks & Regards

Be aware that you need a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration, see

You install the JDK from IBM and point the installation to the PATH where you put it.

Check the link in

Note 1008311 - Recommended Settings for NW 7.0 >= SR2 for the AIX JVM (J9)

Also be aware that your Java engine might not be come up after the migration because you need to (manually) change the Java parameters using configtool.

Thanks for your concern.

I'm just trying to perfect my skills in heterogenous system copy ( I have a free server at my disposal)

I managed to download & installl java14_64 for AIX. Now I'm required to provide the location for Java Crytography Extension Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy archive file for JDK vendor IBM & JDK Version 1.4.

I'm gettting the error Incorrect ZIP file. sapinst does not accept the files below located in */usr/java14_64/jre/lib/security/.

=> US_export_policy.jar

=> local_policy.jar

Kindly assist

No criticism given, just information It's good to train and test if you have time and resources. Go on!

The JCE policy file is a different one for Sun and IBM. You have to provide the proper ZIP file, not unpack them an put them in the directory, sapinst does that for you. Just point to the zip file from IBM. See

Note 1426759 - Downloading the JCE Policy Files from SUN or IBM
