Updating the Java path

You must update the ini file in the /etc/PFA/ directory and ini files in check directories for Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA) processing to locate the Java™ code on your system. For more information about how PFA determines which ini file to use, see Migration considerations for PFA.

The JAVAPATH= line must be set to the SMP/E installation path for the Java code for PFA. If you installed the Java code for PFA elsewhere, you must change this line to the path where the PFA for Java is installed. The default is /usr/lpp/bcp. For example:

JAVAPATH= /usr/lpp/bcp

Update the PATH= and LIBPATH= statements in the ini file for each check to point to the executable code needed for JNI calls. The following example shows the typical Java 6.0 path for PFA:

PATH= /usr/lpp/java/J6.0/lib/s390/classic:/usr/lpp/java/J6.0/lib/s390
LIBPATH= /usr/lpp/java/J6.0/lib/s390:/usr/lpp/java/J6.0/lib/s390/classic:/lib:/usr/lib:

The update to the PATH= and LIBPATH= lines is dependent of the level of Java that your installation uses. In Java 6.0, these lines typically point to $JAVA_HOME/lib/s390/classic. The value for the $JAVA_HOME variable is typically as follows for Java 6.0:

/usr/lpp/java/J6.0 (/usr/lpp/java/J6.0/lib/s390/classic)
