Java 1.4 patches

[Manuel Arndt]

Hi folks,
I would like to know if I need to intall all these Java 1.4 patches in a certain order to get SDK for Java 2 version 1.4.1.03 working on a HP-UX 11.00 machine!

Thanks in advance,
Manuel

Hi,

You should install ALL the patches from a single depot.

To preview the install phase (ie, install analysis ONLY):

# swinstall -p -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target =true -s


If there are no problems, then issue the same command again without the -p option:

# swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target =true -s

If you need help putting ALL the patches in a single depot, let us know.


Hope it helps


Tim.

Hi,

I made an assumption that you had the correct list of required patches and I never bothered to check. Follow the link in the previous post and then heed the advice I provided earlier .

Yes,
I would like to know, how I can create one depot file....

Cheers,

Hi,
i suppose that you have the patch in the files

/tmp/a.depot
/tmp/b.depot
...

so

create a directory /depot
mkdir /depot

swcopy -x enforce_dependencies=false -s /tmp/a.depot "*" @/depot

for each depot of the patches.


then install from that directory

swinstall -s /depot


and good installation !

Hi again,

The installation was successful, but Java applications still crash.
-Are there any kernel parameters that have to be edited?
-Or are there any bugs known using Java 1.4 with all these patches on HP-UX 11.00 without a quality pack?
-Does it matter which one of the supersedes is installed?
-Does anybody have a patchlist from his working system?

Thanks a lot in advance,
Manuel

Hi,

You do need the Java patches installed. To check if they are in the right state, the following command should produce a blank line -nothing else:

# swlist -l fileset -a state | grep -v configured | grep -v "^#"


Assuming that you have all the required patches installed and in the correct state, then there are a few kernel parameters you can increase or consider changing (this is NOT a definitive list):

maxdsiz
maxdsiz_64 (if 64-bit app)
nkthreads
max_thread_proc

Also ensure you have sufficient swap. Depending on the system, you should have at least the same amount of swap as RAM. I generally recommend more.

The above are very generic but you haven't posted much information about your problem, the errors you are receiving or the options you are using to compile the code, etc.

Check the above general suggestions, and if you still have problems, then post the details of the problem.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

Patches are installed correctly.
And that were exactly the same kernel parameters I had a look at. Memory should be enough (256MB) and swap space as well (~800MB).

I'm using a SW with the JServer.
After starting, an error accurs, that says that
the JServer failed to start. I know that's not pretty much, but all it logs. It might not be a java patch problem. But even support engineers of the SW (Tarantella Enterprise 3) don't know a solution for such a problem. They think it's a platform problem. So I just wanted to ckeck out if they're right...

Cheers,
Manuel
