| z/OS element or feature | Latest supported level of Java | Java home location |
|---|---|---|
| Base Control Program (BCP) | These BCP components use Java; they support IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2). | Data Privacy for Diagnostics (DPfD, IPCS): • For users of Data Privacy for Diagnostics through the IPCS panels, Java home is set through the JAVA HOME DIR field. The JZOS LOAD MODULE must point to the load module for the JZOS Batch Launcher installation. Example: • For users of Data Privacy for Diagnostics through JCL, Java home is set through the STDENV DD statement of the DPfD job, and the JZOS load module is defined on the EXEC PGM= statement. Your installation supplies these statements. For sample JCL, see the BLSJDPx members of SYS1.SAMPLIB. Example: |
Predictive Failure Analysis (PFA):
| ||
System Management Facilities (SMF): Java home setting is not applicable. The SMF API inherits the Java virtual machine (JVM) characteristics from the calling program. | ||
Subcapacity Reporting Tool (SCRT): Java home is set through the STDENV DD statement of the SCRT job, which is provided by the installation. For sample JCL, see the ISCJCLxx member of SYS1.SAMPLIB. | ||
z/OS XML System Services (z/OS XML): Java home setting is not applicable. The optimized schema representation (OSR) generator invokes Java through the Java virtual machine (JVM). | ||
| Capacity Provisioning Manager (CPM) | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) Requires the PTF for APAR OA68967. | Java home is set through the following configuration file:
|
| DFSMS | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2). | DFSMS Object Access Method (OAM): Java home setting is not applicable. The ldapdiff utility uses Java, but the script that runs the utility does not specify a Java home. Instead, the script inherits the Java virtual machine (JVM) characteristics from the calling program. |
| IBM Tivoli Directory Server | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) | Java home is set in the user profile or system profile. |
| IBM z/OS Liberty Embedded | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) | Java home is set by the STDENV DD statement in the started task procedure. Or, it is set in the server environment variables file (server.env). |
| IBM z/OS Management Facility (z/OSMF) | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) Requires the PTF for APAR PH70152. | Java home is set through the JAVA_HOME parameter in the IZUPRMxx parmlib member: |
| Infoprint Server | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) | For Infoprint Central, Java home is set in the environment variables file for the HTTP server: |
| PKI Services | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) | If your installation has configured PKI Services to use JSP and XML to implement its web application for certificate management, access to the Java SDK is established through z/OS WebSphere Liberty server. The Java home setting resides in the server environment file (server.env). |
| SDSF | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) | Java home setting is not applicable. The SDSF API inherits the Java virtual machine (JVM) characteristics from the calling program. |
| SMP/E | IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition for z/OS 25 (5655-JB2) | Java home can be set by using either the Java home attribute in the SMPCLNT data set, or the SMPJHOME DD statement or DDDEF entry. |
