You can run the Control Center either as a Java application or as a Java applet through a web server. In both cases you need a supported Java Virtual Machine (JVM) installed on your machine to run the Control Center. A JVM can be a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for running applications, or a Java-enabled browser for running applets.
On Windows 32-bit operating systems, the correct JRE level was installed or upgraded for you during DB2 installation.
On AIX systems, the correct JRE was installed for you during DB2 installation only if another JRE was not detected on your system. If another JRE was detected on your AIX system during DB2 installation, the JRE that comes with DB2 was not installed. In this case, you must install the correct JRE level before running the Control Center.
On all other operating systems you must install the correct JRE level before running the Control Center. See Table 26 for a list of correct JRE levels.
| Note: | Some operating systems, including OS/2 Warp Server for e-business and AIX 4.3, have built-in Java support. For more information, check with your administrator. |
You must use a supported Java-enabled browser to run the Control Center as a Java applet. See Table 26 for a list of supported browsers.
