Description
Description:
For existing installations running TIBCO 5.3.x applications:
The default JRE shipped with TIBCO TRA 5.3.x on AIX 5.3 or 5.2 platforms is 1.4.2 and gets installed under <TIBCO_HOME>/jre/1.4.2. All the TIBCO 5.3.x Applications point to this JRE 1.4.2 at runtime.
In order for these applications to use JRE 1.4.2.x or later version on AIX 5.3 or 5.2 platforms you need to perform the following steps.
1. You must install the latest AIX 5.3 or 5.2 OS patches. The patches and corresponding installation instructions can be obtained from IBM’s Support website https://techsupport.services.ibm.com/server/aix.fdc
Note: As of the publication date of this document, we have tested with AIX 5.3 5300-02 and AIX 5.2 5200-02 OS levels. Use the command “oslevel –r” to find out your current AIX OS level.
2. Stop all the running TIBCO applications.
3. Install JDK 1.4.2.x or later version from IBM in a location of your choice. For example: /opt/jdk and do the following:
• ln -s /opt/jdk/bin/javac /opt/jdk/jre/bin/javac
• ln -s /opt/jdk/lib/tools.jar /opt/jdk/jre/lib/tools.jar
This step is essential as javac and tools.jar are needed by TIBCO BusinessWorks Java activity and TIBCO Administrator at start up to be in the <JRE_HOME>/bin and <JRE_HOME>/lib directories respectively.
4. Go to the existing JRE 1.4.2 installation and move it to another location:
• cd <TIBCO_HOME>/jre/1.4.2
• mv 1.4.2 1.4.2.original
5. Create a soft link from <TIBCO_HOME>/jre/1.4.2 to JRE 1.4.2.x or later as below:
• ln -s /opt/jdk/jre <TIBCO_HOME>/jre/1.4.2.
6. Restart all the TIBCO applications.
7. Note that you are not required to recreate the domains and all existing domains and deployments will continue to work.
