AIX

Hello Team,


We are trying to install Java7 for weblogic user in a particular location(not default /usr location). I have tried following method but no luck, Need your suggestion on this.

Issue details :

1) smitty installp >> When trying this there is no option to relocate the installation.

2) installp_r -a -Y -R /safat/ -d '.' Java7_64.sdk (or) installp -R /safat -Y -a -d /safat Java7_64.sdk >>>> when trying with these commands getting below error.

Error:
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Pre-installation Verification...
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Verifying selections...0503-040 installp: A system error occurred while attempting
to access the Software Vital Product Data.
Use local problem reporting procedures.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please advice.

I would install one system java as root in the default /usr/java7 directory


then copy this folder to your desired user directory, and set java_home for this user to point to this directory

Will that work ?? Are you sure on it ??

Yes it will just correct system variables and user permissions

Thanks much Funksen / Gito,

It's work.. i've copied to the desired location and changed the permission's, it's working fine.. But am wondering what mistake i've done?

Regards,
Gowtham.G

The below suggestion i got from GBM.

root@appsrv1uat[/home/root]# lsusil
INSTALL PATH = /safat
COMMENTS = Created by installp on Tue May 22 12:23:00 GMT+03:00 2012
root@appsrv1uat[/home/root]# lppchk -v -R /safat
lppchk: A system error occurred while attempting

root@appsrv1uat[/home/root]#
# rmusil -R /safat -r
# lppchk -v -R /safat

After this try reinstalling with command

# installp_r -a -Y -d /safat -R /safat Java7_64.sdk
