GOAL:
How to find which PTF level you have for your Java on AIX
GOAL:
How to find which patch level you have for your Java on AIX
FACT(s) (Environment):
IBM AIX
FIX:
- cd into the bin subdirectory of your Java installation directory.
- Run ./java -version. This will output something like:
java version "1.3.0"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.3.0)
Classic VM (build 1.3.0, J2RE 1.3.0 IBM build ca130-20020504 (JIT enabled: jitc))
- Go to https://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/dka/dka-p.
- From the list of available Java downloads, select the Java version that corresponds to your operating system level (for example AIX 4.3.3) and to the output from the java -version command (1.3.0 in our case).
- You'll be asked for a user id and password. If you have it, you can log in, otherwise just register: to date (December 2002) the registration is no cost.
- After logging in, you'll be directed to the download page.
- A few lines down the download page, there is a line reading 'How and where to get fixes'. Click on the hyperlink.
- A few lines down the page that will open you'll find a table similar to the following:
SDK 1.3.0 for AIX PTFs since GA:
PTF # APAR # Fullversion
------ ------ -----------
PTF 10 IY30745 ca130-20020504
PTF 9b IY28205 ca130-20020208
PTF 9a IY27830 ca130-20020124
PTF 9 IY25385 ca130-20020117
PTF 8a IY26212 ca130-20010925mq
PTF 8 IY24043 ca130-20010925
PTF 7a IY22176 ca130-20010615a
PTF 7 IY20588 ca130-20010615
PTF 6 IY18768 ca130-20010516
PTF 5 IY18110 ca130-20010330
PTF 4 IY16569 ca130-20010207
PTF 3 IY14861 ca130-20001124
PTF 2 IY14223 ca130-20001025
PTF 1 IY13260 ca130-20000824
The above is a sniplet from the page for Java 1.3.0 for AIX 4.3.3.
- Match the build id in the output from java -version (ca130-20020504 in our case) with the numbers in the third column. The PTF level is in the same row, first column (PTF 10 in our case).
