IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Install IBM Java 7
In Tivoli Monitoring V6.3, all Java-based Tivoli Monitoring infrastructure components are being upgraded to the Java 7 runtime environment. Although this upgrade is transparent for most Tivoli Monitoring components, you might have to complete additional tasks to upgrade the Tivoli Enterprise Portal component depending on the deployment mode you use for the Tivoli Enterprise Portal.
If you use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal desktop client, the upgrade to Java 7 is transparent because the supporting Java 7 binaries and support files are embedded within the Tivoli Enterprise Portal directory structure, and are updated automatically by the Tivoli Monitoring Installer. However, if you also use the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser or Web Start client deployments, you might have to complete some additional installation and configuration tasks to successfully upgrade the Tivoli Enterprise Portal to Java 7. This section describes the additional tasks for users of the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser and the Web Start client.
- Upgrade installation versus pristine installation
If you are upgrading from an earlier release of Tivoli Monitoring to V6.3, you already have a correctly installed and configured version of Java available on the system where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal client is used.
- Windows: Installing IBM Java 7
The upgrade to IBM Java 7 is triggered when you first launch the V6.3 Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser client after a pristine installation.
- Linux: Installing IBM Java 7
There are two alternative methods for installing IBM Java 7.
