Re: Upgrading from V5R4 to 7.1. Java Classic to IT4J -- MIDRANGE-L

If you trying to get to the "latest", find and install 5761JV1 options 14 and 15 which are the Java SE 7 32 bit and 64 bit. Then you won't have to do this again when the java people need 7.

download from the entitled software page, put into a imgclg and then install the licensed program.

Hi Mark,

I;ve asked the operations department to have these installed. I'll then change the software to point at the 64-bit machine via the JAVA_HOME environment variable.
If this works I owe you a beer or a meal if your ever in the UK.

Regards,
Mark.

Hi, Mark:

On a recently installed copy of IBM i 7.1, with the latest CUMe PTFs
etc. applied, GO LICPGM option 10, paging down, I see this:

Licensed Installed
Program   Release Description
5761JV1   V6R1M0 J2SE 5.0 32 bit
5761JV1   V6R1M0 J2SE 5.0 64 bit
5761JV1   V6R1M0 Java SE 6 32 bit
5761JV1   V6R1M0 Java SE 6 64 bit
5761JV1   V6R1M0 J2SE 1.4 64 bit

Pressing F11 for the alternate view, I see:

5761JV1 8 J2SE 5.0 32 bit
5761JV1 9    J2SE 5.0 64 bit
5761JV1 11 Java SE 6 32 bit
5761JV1 12 Java SE 6 64 bit
5761JV1 13 J2SE 1.4 64 bit

A google search for "ibm i 7.1 how to specify which jvm to use" gave
this as the first result:

http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas8N1011867

This page describes setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable, with
links to various pages in the InfoCenter for details.

Hope that helps,

Hi Mark,

Believe me, I'm not trying to get it to work with the 32-bit JVM, I though it was the only option I had.
If I can still point the software at the 64-Bit JVM GREAT!! I will sleep better tonight.

I will look it up and point the software back at the 64-Bit machine. I'll let you know how it go's.

Regards,
Mark.

Mark:

Even with IT4J, IBM still supports both a 64-bit JVM and a 32-bit JVM
... if this application was all "working fine" with the "classic"
64-bit JVM, why are you are trying to make it work in a 32-bit JVM?

Hi Evan,

If you think it could be a JVM issue who would it get reported to. The JAVA code being used is Apache and IT4J is IBM.

Mark.

I'm with Luis on this - it looks more like a JVM issue.

I don't see how recompiling will help other than to provide one more reason
for the java guys to look at it.

Hi Luis,

I am going to take all source from the V5R4 machine and recompile on the
7.1 machine. Would that possibly solve the problem?
I am not a JAVA programmer.

Mark.

Mark,

IIRC, Is it possible that your old program(s) need the 64-bit version of
Java and right now (under the new release) they are pointing to the "new"
32-bit version?

Luis

Is there a good document on upgrading from V5R4 to 7.1 where RPG calls
JAVA programs?

I have programs created at V5R4 being installed on a 7.1. Most work
perfectly but there are a few issues
such as '"java.lang.StringIndexOutOfBoundsException' happening.

Do the programs need to be recompiled directly on the 7.1 machine?
Do I need to recompile all programs with teraspace enabled?

The setup has been changed to point at the new 'IBM Technology for Java'
JVM rather than the Classic JVM.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Mark.
