Complete the following steps to install IBM® Java™ 7
for use with the Tivoli® Enterprise
Portal browser and Web Start clients in a Linux environment.
Procedure
- Download the IBM Java 7 tgz file
from the machine where your Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server is located:
Alternatively, if you prefer to use a different method for retrieving
this file, the following directory location is where you can find
the file on the Tivoli Enterprise
Portal Server machine:
- <itm_install_directory>\cnb\java
- <itm_install_dir>/<arch>/cw/java
Save the file in a directory of your choice, for example /home.
- As the root user, open a shell prompt.
- Create a directory where you plan on installing IBM Java 7
on your client machine. A suggested directory location is /opt/ibm.
- Extract the IBM Java 7 installation archive contents
using the following command (here it is assumed the ibm-java7_64.tgz file
was downloaded to the /home directory and will be
installed in the /opt/ibm directory):
tar -xvzf /home/ibm-java7_64.tgz -C /opt/ibm
- After you have extracted the IBM Java 7 installation archive contents
you must register the Java plug-in
with your Firefox browser. To register the Java plug-in, you must symbolically link it
to the plug-in directory associated with your browser. See steps 6, 7,
and 8 in
method 1 for information on how to complete this task.
