As you can see I have a number of versions of Java installed. I did remove and re-install Java / SWA to resolve another issue but SWA was installed after Java.

I don't have SHLIB_PATH set up etc or Java in my PATH but don't have this set up on other servers either where SWA works fine.

Any ideas ? Point will be awarded

Hi,

I saw the same - you need exactly the version mentioned in the swa readme.

[gstonian]

Was just installing that version as you replied. It fixed the problem though - thanks for your help !

[Keith Buck]

Were there any errors when you did the install? The SWA coreq's should enforce that a correct version of Java is installed as long as you didn't turn off enforce_dependencies. I'd like to track this down so we can fix it if needed.

Thanks

The corequisites are built so that newer versions (if packaged properly) will allow installation. The known issue is that an "OR'd" requisite the half that allows installation might not be the half found in your PATH. Based upon the data provided, your version 1.4 is new enough and should have been run. Can you post:

1. Version of SWA
2. Version of HP-UX
3. Hardware (output of model command)

or the system inventory (run /opt/swa/lbin/swainv)? I have not been able to reproduce with our latest bits.

[Bob E Campbell]

OK, still cannot reproduce but have some interesting data. First, SWA attempts to use JRE15 first and then JRE14 (I was wrong about PATH).

Next, JRE15 has dropped support for PA-RISC 1.1 systems at some point, and yet JRE15 is installable on PA1.1 boxes.

I would be interested in the results of running /opt/java1.5/jre/bin/java on the original system configuration.

Hi, in answer to your question about the install, there was no errors while instaling SWA with the above java config. Since the original problem I have now put on the new versions of java and it still all works (albeit it the old versions are still present and appear to be seperated under jdk14 & jre14).

[Bob E Campbell]

OK, the dependency is only on the runtime (JRE) and favors the 1.5 over the 1.4. The initial swlist did not include either JRE and the newest includes both.

If the requisite is bypassed, the SWA controller can run without the java libraries and create an inventory, but all analysis, downloads, and reporting requires the JRE.

I should have seen this earlier, but looked only at revisions and not JDK vs. JRE.
