Step 1:

Download

A. Download the desired JRE and/or SDK filesets for the FIRST or LATEST release for the desired version(s) from the "IBM Java for AIX Service Information and Download Guide" web page:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1022644



B. Create a temporary directory, then save a copy of the downloaded files into that directory:

# mkdir -p /TMP_PATH/java_install

{Save a copy of the downloaded files to /TMP_PATH/java_install directory}



C. Extract the contents of the download files in the temporary directory. In a command prompt, execute the commands:

# cd /TMP_PATH/java_install
# ls Java*.tar.gz

{For each file listed from the last command, execute the commands}

# gunzip -c < TAR_GZ_FILE | tar -xvf -

{Confirm the *.jre and/or *.sdk files have been extracted}

# ls Java*.sdk Java*.jre

B. Examples of commands to be executed:

# mkdir -p /tmp/java_install

# ls *.tar.gz

Java7.jre.tar.gz
Java7.sdk.tar.gz



C. Examples of commands to be executed:

# cd /tmp/java_install

# ls Java*.tar.gz

Java7.jre.tar.gz
Java7.sdk.tar.gz

# gunzip -c < Java7.jre.tar.gz | tar -xvf -
# gunzip -c < Java7.sdk.tar.gz | tar -xvf -

# ls Java*.sdk Java*.jre

Java7.sdk
Java7.jre

Step 2:

Install

A. Command line installation

1. From a command prompt, and while logged in as the root user, execute the commands:

#cd /TMP_PATH/java_install

# installp -agXYd . JavaX.jre JavaX.sdk 2>&1 | tee installp.log

or

# installp -agXYd . JavaX_64.jre JavaX_64.sdk 2>&1 | tee installp.log

B. SMIT (or smitty) installation

1. From a command prompt, and while logged in as the root user, execute the commands:


# cd /TMP_PATH/java_install

# smittty install_all

2. Follow these instructions while using the SMIT utility

a. Menu #1 (Install and Update from ALL Available Software)

Option::* INPUT device / directory for software

Input: Type "./" in the field

{Press the ENTER key to proceed to next menu}

b. Menu #2 (Install and Update from ALL Available Software)

Option: * SOFTWARE to install

Input: Press the F4 key (or ESC+4 keys) to view the list of installed software. Then scroll to the desired filesets and select the filesets by pressing the the F7 key (or ESC+7 keys) for each filesets. Press the ENTER key once all of the filesets have been selected.


Option: ACCEPT new license agreements?

Input: Press the TAB key to change the value from "no" to "yes"

{Press the ENTER twice to begin the installation}

{Press the F10 key (or ESC+0 keys) to exit the SMIT utility}

A. Examples of commands to be executed:

# cd /tmp/java_install
# installp -agXYD . Java7.jre Java7.sdk 2>&1 | tee installp.log



B. Examples of commands to be executed:

# cd /tmp/java_install
# smitty install_all

Step 3:

Confirm

Confirm that IBM Java for AIX has been installed using the following methods.


A. From a command prompt, execute the command:

# lslpp -l "Java*"

In the output listed, the JavaX and/or JavaX_64 versions selected during the installation should be listed as COMMITTED.

B. From a command prompt, execute the command:

# /usr/javaX/jre/bin/java -version

and/or

# /usr/javaX_64/jre/bin/java -version

A. Examples of commands to execute:

# lslpp -l "Java*" | grep Java7

Fileset Level State Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Path: /usr/lib/objrepos
Java7_64.sdk 7.0.0.210 COMMITTED Java SDK 64-bit Development Kit

B. Examples of commands to execute:

# /usr/java7/jre/bin/java -version

java version "1.7.0"

Step 4:

Troubleshoot

A. If the install of IBM Java for AIX failed and the issue could not be resolved, it is recommended that the following data be collected and uploaded to a new IBM support call which has been routed to the "AIX Install" team or "AIX Java" team.

1. Collect and package the SMIT log files or installp log file by executing the following commands from a command prompt using the user id used in Step 2. Install:

# mkdir -p /TMP_PATH/MM-DD/java_install/data
# cd /TMP_PATH/MM-DD/java_install/data
# cp ${HOME}/smit.* /TMP_PATH/java_install/installp.log ./
# cd /TMP_PATH/MM-DD/java_uninstall
# tar -cf - data | gzip -c > PMR.MM-DD.tgz

2. Upload the packaged data using one of the IBM secure upload methods listed on the "IBM Java for AIX MustGather: How to upload diagnostic data and testcases to IBM" web page:
