  • 1.  java download for AIX

    I need to download and install a newer version of the java SDK for AIX in order to troubleshoot an Oracle issue.  I also need to install the new java in a specific directory.

     

    Are the InstallAnywhere binaries for java no longer offered for AIX?  This makes installing to a specific directory easy.

     

    I have found the installp java downloads for AIX but when I try to install it, it complains about not having the base fileset.  I don't think I'll be able to find the base fileset.  Anyone face a similar challenge?  This is the document that I'm using:  https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSYKE2_7.0.0/com.ibm.java.aix.70.doc/user/aix_relocation.html

     

    The command I'm using:  installp_r -a -Y -R /usr/java/ -d '.' Java71_64.sdk

     

    The output:

     

    # installp_r -a -Y -R /usr/java/ -d '.' Java71_64.sdk

    installp: executing "/usr/sbin/mkusil -IR /usr/java" to create new USIL instance

    mkusil: Return Status = SUCCESS

    On this website, the BASE/GA packages below "FIRST" have to be installed first (smitty install_all), then the upgrade to the mentioned 7.1.0.455 update can be done (smitty update_all)

    I found the .bin InstallAnywhere files that I was looking for.  It was buried on one of the IBM Java download pages.

    Thanks to everyone that commented.
