sh: jar: not found.

[Ahmed M. AlShafiy]

i try to run an oracle script and i get this message:

sh: jar: not found.

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

Hi Ahmed,

add the Java bin directory to the envirenmont (PATH) of the oracle user.

in my case java1.4
/opt/java1.4/bin

Regards,
Robert-Jan

Shalom Ahmed,

Check the JAVA_PATH envirnoment variable.

Check the oracle start scripts.

swlist -l product | grep -i java

Hi,

Oracle install uses the java distribution brought in with the CD/DVD.
I think your Oracle CD is not not mounted with the correct RR-option so the filename cannot be found.
Try
cd
find . -type f -name 'JAR*' -print

If the find gives you results:
There are many many threads in the forum concerning CD + Rockridge - search!

jar tool is part of java SDK (not present in JRE).
=> usually in /opt/java1.*/bin/jar

# su - oracle
xxx[]/home/oracle> jar
ksh: jar: not found
xxx[]/home/oracle> export PATH=$PATH:/opt/java1.4/bin
xxx[]/home/oracle> jar
Usage: jar {ctxu}[vfm0Mi] [jar-file] [manifest-file] [-C dir] files ...

[Ahmed M. AlShafiy]

even i try to run it with root user under /opt/java1.4/bin and i get the same:

sh: jar: not found

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

and if you run ?

# /opt/java1.4/bin/jar

Check the jar file

# file /opt/java1.4/bin/jar
jar: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked -not stripped

what is the result of
ls -l /opt/java1.4/bin/jar
echo $PATH

is it better after you run
export PATH=/opt/java1.4/bin:$PATH

[Ahmed M. AlShafiy]

i do the following under the root user:

#file /opt/java1.4/bin/jar
/opt/java1.4/bin/jar: PA-RISC1.1 shared executable dynamically linked -not stripped
#jar
sh: jar: not found.

[Robert-Jan Goossens_1]

as root!

# export PATH=$PATH:/opt/java1.4/bin
# jar
