Java setup for Linux and UNIX operating systems

Use this procedure to setup the Java™ samples on Linux® and UNIX operating systems.

Procedure

  1. Install a Java Development Kit (JDK). To determine the supported Java versions, see IBM Cognos Analytics 11.0.0 Supported Software Environments (http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27047186). Select your product and product version and create a report for related software. Choose Development Tools under Supported software.
    The report that is generated lists the supported Java versions.
  2. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the location where the JDK is installed.
  3. Edit installation_location/sdk/java/Common/CRNConnect.java by locating the line

    public static String CM_URL = "http://localhost:9300/p2pd/servlet/dispatch";

    and replacing localhost:9300 with the name and, if necessary, port number of your IBM® Cognos® dispatcher.

  4. If you want to compile all the samples, edit installation_location/sdk/java/build-samples.sh and change the lines 
    CRN_HOME=/usr/cognos/xxx
JAVA_HOME=/c/j2sdk1.5

    so that they point to the locations where JDK and the IBM Cognos Analytics server and the JDK are installed, respectively.

  5. If you want to compile individual samples, edit installation_location/sdk/java/sample_name/build.sh and change the lines 
    CRN_HOME=/usr/cognos/xxx
JAVA_HOME=/c/j2sdk1.5

    so that they point to the locations where JDK and the IBM Cognos Analytics server and the JDK are installed, respectively.

  6. Compile the Java samples by running build-samples.sh (to compile all samples) or build.sh (to compile an individual sample).
