GOAL:
How to install 9.1D on AIX without Java installed.
FACT(s) (Environment):
IBM AIX
Progress 9.1D
SYMPTOM(s):
Java not installed.
FIX:
When installing some Progress packages (eg. Enterprise Database license), the Progress installer will not continue through the installation unless a JVM is detected on the machine.
If you are absolutely certain you will not be using Java for any of your activities (this includes but is not limited to: Using the AdminServer; using any Webspeed, Appserver, Sonic Adapter brokers; et al.)...
A workaround is to convince Progress that there is the same version
of Java installed on the machine that it is looking for:
1) Create a shell script called "java" with the following
two lines:
#!/bin/sh
echo '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 ca130-20020117 (JIT
enabled: jitc))'
2) Save the script in any directory.
3) Add this directory to the very beginning of your PATH
environment variable.
4) Verify that java command always executes as following:
At the prompt #, type in "java"
Output will be
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 ca130-20020117 (JIT enabled: jitc))
5) Run proinst script.
NOTE: When prompted, enter the JavaHome Path.
6) The JDK installation directory needs to be entered.
NOTE:
This workaround has been tested and proven to work with SCO
OpenServer.
Other platforms have a different date and version information for
java.
