Purpose – Installing JDK 7 package from web repository using the installation manager’s imcl.exe and imutilsc.exe utilities
Pre-requisities –
- OS – Windows XP SP2
- Installation Manager – 1.5.2
- WAS ND – 8.5.5.0
Procedure –
Step1: Create a keyring_file to store the Passport advantage credentials to connect to the IBM Respository site
| Save credentials to keyring file |
|---|
C:Program FilesIBMInstallation Managereclipsetools>imutilsc saveCredential -url http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70/repository.config -userName sudhirxxx@gmail.com -userPassword XXXX -keyring keyring_file -password XXXX Successfully saved the credential to the keyring. The above message indicates the credentials were authenticate and saved successfully to keyring file. |
The above message indicates the credentials were authenticate and saved successfully to keyring file.
Step2: List the available packages to be installed from the connected repository
| List available packages |
|---|
C:Program FilesIBMInstallation Managereclipsetools>imcl.exe listAvailablePackages -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70 -keyring keyring_file -password XXXX com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.1000.20120424_1539 com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.2000.20121005_1500 com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.4000.20130319_1844 com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.4001.20130510_2103 com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.5000.20131010_1516 com.ibm.websphere.liberty.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.5000.20131010_1516 |
Step3: Install the latest available JDK 7 package as highlighted above
| Install JDK 7 |
|---|
C:Program FilesIBMInstallation Managereclipsetools>imcl.exe install com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.5000.20131010_1516 -repositories http://www.ibm.com/software/repositorymanager/com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70 -keyring keyring_file -password XXXX -installationDirectory D:WASInstallWAS Installed com.ibm.websphere.IBMJAVA.v70_7.0.5000.20131010_1516 to the D:WASInstallWAS directory. |
Step4: Check the available JDK 7 packages available in WAS installation directory
| List available packages |
|---|
D:WASInstallWASbin>managesdk.bat -listAvailable CWSDK1003I: Available SDKs : CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1005I: SDK name: 1.7_32 CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task. |
Step5: Check the JDK being used by the WAS profile
| List enabled profiles |
|---|
D:WASInstallWASbin>managesdk.bat -listEnabledProfileAll CWSDK1004I: Profile Dmgr01 : CWSDK1006I: PROFILE_COMMAND_SDK = 1.6_32 CWSDK1008I: Node CORECellManager01 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server dmgr SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1004I: Profile AppSrv01 : CWSDK1006I: PROFILE_COMMAND_SDK = 1.6_32 CWSDK1008I: Node CORENode01 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server nodeagent SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server webserver1 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server webserver2 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server server1 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server server2 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1004I: Profile AppSrv02 : CWSDK1006I: PROFILE_COMMAND_SDK = 1.6_32 CWSDK1008I: Node CORENode02 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server nodeagent SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server server1 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task. |
Step6: Activate the latest JDK 7 package with the Dmgr01 profile
| Active JDK7 for DMGR profile |
|---|
D:WASInstallWASbin>managesdk.bat -enableProfile -sdkname 1.7_32 -profileName Dmgr01 CWSDK1017I: Profile Dmgr01 now enabled to use SDK 1.7_32. CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task. - Verify the JDK 7 activation for the Dmgr01 profile D:WASInstallWASbin>managesdk.bat -listEnabledProfileAll CWSDK1004I: Profile Dmgr01 : CWSDK1006I: PROFILE_COMMAND_SDK = 1.7_32 CWSDK1008I: Node CORECellManager01 SDK name: 1.7_32 CWSDK1009I: Server dmgr SDK name: 1.7_32 CWSDK1004I: Profile AppSrv01 : CWSDK1006I: PROFILE_COMMAND_SDK = 1.6_32 CWSDK1008I: Node CORENode01 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server nodeagent SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server webserver1 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server webserver2 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server server1 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server server2 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1004I: Profile AppSrv02 : CWSDK1006I: PROFILE_COMMAND_SDK = 1.6_32 CWSDK1008I: Node CORENode02 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server nodeagent SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1009I: Server server1 SDK name: 1.6_32 CWSDK1001I: Successfully performed the requested managesdk task. |
