ZWSTECHNOTE : DWCZOS : Installing DWC on z/OS with JAVA V11 ( DWC 10.1 Fix Pack 2 FP2 )

How To


Summary

The minimum level of JAVA has changed from V8 to V11 with the 10.1 FP2 level. What needs to be modified in the install procedure because of this?

Steps

The directory path for some files like libjvm.so was changed with version 11 JAVA  from   JAVA_HOME/bin/j9vm to
JAVA_HOME/lib/j9vm so a different PATH must be specified to avoid errors like :
CEE3501S The module /apc/java11/usr/lpp/java/J11.0_64/bin/classic/libjvm.so was not found.
With JAVA V8, the DWC installation scripts configureDb.sh and dwcinst.sh could be run with:
$ PATH=/bin:/apc/java800/64bit/usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64/bin                         
$ export PATH                                                                   
$ JAVA_HOME=/apc/java800/64bit/usr/lpp/java/J8.0_64                             
$ export JAVA_HOME      
$ ./configureDb.sh -f /var/STEPHEN/PAXFP1/configureDbDb2z.properties    
With JAVA V11 the PATH needs to include both JAVA_HOME/bin  and JAVA_HOME/lib
for example:
$ PATH=/bin:/apc/java11/usr/lpp/java/J11.0_64/bin/:/apc/java11/usr/lpp/java/J11.0_64/lib 
$ export PATH                                                                   
$ JAVA_HOME=/apc/java11/usr/lpp/java/J11.0_64                             
$ export JAVA_HOME      
$ ./configureDb.sh -f /var/STEPHEN/PAXFP1/configureDbDb2z.properties
