UNIX system requirements<br />

To ensure that the correct Java version is properly installed <strong>and</strong> recognized by<br />

the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation:<br />

1. Install the certified JDK to be used with <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Release 11.0 before you install<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong>.<br />

2. Verify that the JDK is located in the $PATH environment variable to ensure that<br />

the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation can tailor the java_env file.<br />

The $PATH environment variable must point to the correct Java installation before<br />

you run the proinst utility. Otherwise, the system default Java executable’s<br />

version is referenced from the PATH; the system default is not necessarily the<br />

correct Java version for the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation.<br />

3. Verify that the JDK is located in $JAVAHOME/bin environment variable so that the<br />

<strong>Installation</strong> Utility can find it. (The JAVAHOME PATH is the Java installation<br />

directory.)<br />

<strong>OpenEdge</strong> products that require the JRE<br />

The JRE consists of the Java Virtual Machine, the Java Core Classes, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

supporting files. The JRE is the run time part of the JDK <strong>and</strong> does not include a<br />

compiler, a debugger, or development tools. You must have the JRE if you intend to<br />

use one of the following:<br />

• <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Management or <strong>OpenEdge</strong> Explorer<br />

• WebSpeed Transaction Server<br />

• <strong>OpenEdge</strong>® Application Server Basic<br />

• <strong>OpenEdge</strong>® Application Server Enterprise<br />

• Java application or applet<br />

• <strong>OpenEdge</strong>® Adapter for SonicMQ®<br />

• Web Services Adapter<br />

• Secure AppServer Internet Adapter (AIA)<br />

You must have the JRE to execute Java stored procedures <strong>and</strong> triggers from the<br />

database.<br />

Supported platforms with Java components<br />

As mentioned earlier in this chapter, the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation program also<br />

automatically installs the JDK when you install a product that requires the JDK on the<br />

Sun Solaris platform.<br />

In the case of AIX <strong>and</strong> Linux platforms, the installation program does not automatically<br />

install the JRE or JDK component. You must install the required version of the JRE<br />

<strong>and</strong>/or the JDK (if not already installed) on your target system. For more information<br />

about Java requirements, see Table 10.<br />
