Java instalation

Yyrkoon — Mon, 16 May 2011 12:27:24 GMT

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Java installation. I did not do it so I don't know the way it was done. The problem is that it seems to have the output lost on some logical or something similar. What I mean is, on a normal system...

CVCDM1$ java
Usage: java [-options] class [args...]
(to execute a class)
or java [-options] -jar jarfile [args...]
(to execute a jar file)
[...blablabla...]

On my system...

VACDM1$ java
VACDM1$

So, when I run programs if they finish with error I cannot see them on logs, so I am not able to know why my program crash.

Do you know how to fix that?

Thanks in advance,

Salva.

A few things to check:
Is Your sys$output defined to point to something else than Your terminal (-window) ?
$ SHOW LOGICAL SYS$OUTPUT

How is the java command defined on the system ?
$ SHOW SYMBOL java
Is it different between the two systems ?

It's the same (taking into account they are on different machines with different disks and so on)...

VACDM1$ SHOW SYMBOL java
JAVA == "$ $3$LDA16:[000000.JRE_RUNTIME_BASE.BIN]JAVA$JAVA.EXE "
(not working one)

CVCDM1$ SHOW SYMBOL java
JAVA == "$ SYS$COMMON:[JAVA$150.bin]java$java " (working one)

Sys$output is also right, I can see logs perfectly but java part...

$ write sys$output "dCDM Server time - ", F$TIME(), " on node - ", NODE
dCDM Server time - 16-MAY-2011 15:04:55.84 on node - VACDM
$ java -jar PVSLink_TCPIP.jar -
-m2s2m -
-port 3030 -
-emailscript pvs_mail.com -
-mbx2sck mbxsckpvs -
-sck2mbx pvssckmbx
$exit

The program (when it works) stays on a infinite loop, so it's crashing, but I have no message telling me why does it crash.

Maybe SHOW SYMBOl $STATUS tells something after java silently exiting ?

I would try
$ java -version
and
$ java -verbose

I would also check and compare the directory tree [JRE_RUNTIME_BASE...] with [JAVA$150...].

JRE_RUNTIME_BASE is not a name the VMS Java group uses by default as the top directory.

Also, usually in sys$startup, there is a java$nnn_setup.com, with nnn being the Java version, like 150. I would run it. It usually points to the disk where Java is installed and runs a command procedure from there. If the pointer is wrong, I would search for the command procedure in any Java directory and run that.

And then I would check for all the JAVA$* logical names.

PS: On the version I tried, Java sets no meaningful VMS error code.

Thank you both for your attempts. My problem is already solved, it is quite curious, the problem was quotas PGFLQUOTA was not enought but no error arise when I try to do just "java" command. It did when I tried to run a program, but no on other cases.

Thanks again.

You may want to run [JAVA$150.COM]JAVA$CHECK_ENVIRONMENT.COM.
