For JRE 1.7.0 on AIX, change from the default to j9vm:


/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/default:tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64:/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin


to:


/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/j9vm:tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64:/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin




Environment

Resolution

This issue has been addressed in TRA 5.9.0 or greater for TRA 5.8.0 on AIX  please use manual fix.

For Hawkagent Crash please replace tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/default directory entry with tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/j9vm in tibco.env.LIBPATH in Hawkagent_<DomainName>.tra
Example : 
========================
tibco.env.LIBPATH= %TRA_HOME%/hotfix/lib\:%TRA_HOME%/lib\:%TPCL_HOME%/lib\:%RV_HOME%/lib\:%JVM_LIB_SERVER_DIR%\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/default\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin/j9vm\:%LIBPATH%

Should change to 

tibco.env.LIBPATH= %TRA_HOME%/hotfix/lib\:%TRA_HOME%/lib\:%TPCL_HOME%/lib\:%RV_HOME%/lib\:%JVM_LIB_SERVER_DIR%\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/j9vm\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin/j9vm\:%LIBPATH%
========================

For BW and Admin   TRA files please replace   tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/default directory entry with tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/j9vm    from tibco.env.JVM_LIB_DIR in bwengine.tra and tibcoadmin_domainname.tra.

Example:
==========================================
tibco.env.JVM_LIB_DIR=/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/default\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin

Should change to 

tibco.env.JVM_LIB_DIR=/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64/j9vm\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/lib/ppc64\:/opt/tibcotra58/tibcojre64/1.7.0/bin
