aix java version upgrade

[Roshan]

Hello Erman,

I need to upgrade java from 1.5 to 1.6.
OPatch 11.1.0.6.0 requires JDK 1.6 or later
The JDK version at /app/PMTG/db/tech_st/11.1.0/jdk is 1.5.0

 I am having some issue when upgrading. I downloaded java 1.7 from IBM. I installed using installp -aXY -d . Java7_64.jre

Do all the steps exactly as documented in the link that I sent to you in my previous reply and see if the issue persist or not.

I don't understand why you are upgrading the jdk in OS.

Read the following carefully ->

OPatch  uses the jar utility that comes with JDK for its jar, war, and ear operations. Opatch will look for JDK inside the Oracle home specified. In Case   the default Oracle home JDK is corrupt , the user has to use the -jdk option in OPatch to provide an alternate location. OPatch will display an error, if there is a jar/war/ear operation and is unable to locate Java SDK location. please Note updating/upgarding default JDK/JRE version in Oracle Home is not supported , in case you are using -jdk parameter to invoke java from another location , the alternate java version should be the same which comes with default installtion. Please refer to below document for more details:-

Note 1449674.1 Is It Supported to Update /Upgrade the Default JDK/JRE in Oracle Home?
