Error description

• BE Support Engineer:   CJ
  Change Team Engineer:  EJ
  SAMP: 3.2.2
  Problem Description:  When running installSAM with a JRE
  installed as the java component the script will error out with
  the following error message:
  prereqSAM: Error: To run the end-to-end automation management
  adapter or the sampolicy command, you must install 32-bit Java
  at this or a higher version  150
  The issue is introduced with AIX 7, where the Java 'jre
  package' was renamed from JavaXX.rte to Java7X.jre.
  

Local fix

• Edit the following line of prereqSAM:
  Original line:
  EXJPKGS=´lslpp -l Java* | $GREP -E "ava.*.(rte|sdk)" | $GREP -Ev
  ".*64.*"´
  
  New Line:
  EXJPKGS=´lslpp -l Java* | $GREP -E "ava.*.(jre|rte|sdk)" |
  $GREP -Ev ".*64.*"´
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: Tivoli System Automation for Multiplatforms
  * users installing the product on AIX 7
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:
  * The installation scripts 'installSAM' and 'prereqSAM' check
  * whether Java filesets are installed at the required level on a
  * node before the installation starts. This check fails on AIX 7
  * if there is just the Java run time package installed, which is
  * now named JavaX.jre. The check procedure only searches for
  * JavaX.rte and JavaX.sdk.
  *
  * Local fix:
  * Ensure that a 32-bit Java package is installed and then
  * install the product using the option '--noprereqcheck'.
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:
  ****************************************************************
  

Problem conclusion

• The internal handling of the scripts installSAM and prereqSAM
  has been adjusted to address the issue. Now the scripts check
  also for JavaX.jre.
