Installing the Java compiler

The Java compiler that is compatible with InterChange Server software is contained within the IBM Java Development Kit (JDK) 1.4.2 SR2 and is required for the creation of Java-based adapters, as well as for collaboration and mapping development. The IBM JDK is provided on the WebSphere InterChange Server product CD in the following directory:

JDK\JDK 1.4.2 Installable files

To install the JDK, follow these steps:

  1. Copy the file named ibm-java2-sdk-142.exe from the JDK 1.4.2 Installable files directory of the installation CD to a local temporary directory on your system.
  2. Double-click the file in the temporary directory to extract their contents.
  3. On the language selection screen, choose the desired language from the drop-down menu and click OK.
  4. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  5. On the Software License Acceptance screen, read and accept the terms of the license, then click Yes.
  6. On the Choose Destination Location screen, either accept the default path or perform one of the following tasks, then click Next when finished.
  7. At the Select Components screen, leave all the check boxes for the components checked and click Next.
  8. When prompted to install the Java Runtime Environment as the System JVM, click No. This is suggested to ensure there is no impact to any existing JVMs in your system. If the IBM JVM is the only JVM in your system, or you want to install the IBM JVM as the default JVM, you can answer "Yes" to this question. WICS runtime behavior is not impacted in either case..
  9. At the Start Copying Files screen, click Next.
  10. At the Setup Complete screen, click Finish.

Notes:

  1. Ensure you have added the bin directory of the JDK (bin subdirectory under directory where JDK is installed) to your PATH environment variable. Otherwise, the ICS system cannot locate the Java compiler.

  2. If JDK 1.4.2 is installed on your system, and you install or upgrade Oracle Server, you must reinstall the JDK. During the Oracle installation, Oracle installs JDK 1.1(1.3.1) and makes it the default. Reinstalling JDK ensures that you use the JDK version that is compatible with InterChange Server software.
HA

You must install JDK on both machines in the cluster.
