    Posted Wed February 28, 2024 10:40 AM

    Hi All,

    Please provide steps/links to download and install IBM Java 11 on AIX 7.2 Server.

    IBM Support comments like below:

    Based on the case description I see you want to get instructions and to install Java 11, but we do not support any other version besides version 8.

    As mentioned above Java support is provided for version 8, please check the download link here https://early-access.ibm.com/software/support/trial/cst/programwebsite.wss?siteId=1579&tabId=4375&p=1&h=null

    Please check the installation instructions - > https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-java-aix-howto-install-or-upgrade-ibm-java-specific-release-eg-service-refresh-or-fix-pack

    Regards

    Batcha Riaz Ahamed

    Let me know if you have further questions.

    Hello

    There is a support contract option available (to purchase) for the IBM certified open JAVA packages.

    I setup my NIM servers to handle the installs:

    • NIM script executed on the target client (s) - pulls the key from NIM using nimhttps then runs RPM to add the key. (manual download of key)
    • Download JAVA packages and add them to an lpp_source ==> .<lpp_sourced>./RPMS/ppc (this NIM resource is only for the Open Java RPMs
    • NIM install on target Clients (have a machine group with only the clients that have Open Java installed.

    Works for me - your mileage may very

    Hi

    I do not know the Product Number - however this is the information I had supplied to the Contracts Team to acquire the support contract:

    Product Name : Runtimes for Business

    IBM Runtimes for Business

    NOTE: The link only lisks V9 but it applies to all the Certified versions. I had opened an case against V17 no issue.

    Once the contract in place there is an added option when opening a case for "Product Support"

    Hope this helps :
