Installation
If you order the SDK, the package is provided in SMP/E RELFILE format, which can be installed by using SMP/E. A program directory is available to guide you through the installation process. Alternatively, non-SMP/E format packages are available to download directly from the Java™ SDK products on z/OS page. These packages contain compressed code archives. Instructions to decompress and install the packages are provided in a readme file that is also available to download from the same site.
Installation directory
The installation directory is referred to elsewhere in this documentation as
install_dir. If you install the SDK from an SMP/E package,
the recommended installation directory is as
follows:
/usr/lpp/java/J21.0_64/
If
you install from a non-SMP/E package, the SDK is installed in a J21.0_64 subdirectory in your chosen installation location. The default installation
directory is as follows:$PWD/J21.0_64/
If the SDK is embedded in an IBM product, refer to the documentation for that product to determine the directory location.Prerequisite PTFs
