IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Method 2: retrieval and extraction of a Linux .tar gzip archive
To install IBM Java 7 for use with the Tivoli Enterprise Portal browser and Web Start clients in a Linux environment.
- Download the IBM Java 7 tgz file from the machine where the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server is located:
- The 32 bit archive file for IBM Java 7 is named ibm-java7.tgz. The 32 bit archive file is available from the following location:
http://teps_hostname:15200/java/ibm-java7.tgz
- The 64 bit archive file for IBM Java 7 is named ibm-java7_64.tgz. The 64 bit archive file is available from the following location:
http://teps_hostname:15200/java/ibm-java7_64.tgz
Alternatively, if you prefer to use a different method for retrieving this file, the following directory location is where you can find the file on the Tivoli Enterprise Portal Server machine:
- <itm_install_directory>\cnb\java
- <itm_install_dir>/<arch>/cw/java
Save the file in a directory of your choice, for example /home.
- As the root user, open a shell prompt.
- Create a directory where you plan on installing IBM Java 7 on your client machine. A suggested directory location is /opt/ibm.
- Extract the IBM Java 7 installation archive contents using the following command (here it is assumed the ibm-java7_64.tgz file was downloaded to the /home directory and will be installed in the /opt/ibm directory):
tar -xvzf /home/ibm-java7_64.tgz -C /opt/ibm
- After you have extracted the IBM Java 7 installation archive contents you must register the Java plug-in with your Firefox browser. To register the Java plug-in, symbolically link it to the plug-in directory associated with your browser. See steps 6, 7, and 8 in method 1 for information on how to complete this task.
