running a 1.0.1 Jazz server on Solaris?


David Boyce (9643) | asked Feb 02 '09, 9:58 p.m.
The "best" system on which to host my Jazz server, for reasons which
don't matter here, is running Solaris 10 (Intel). I tried setting up the
"Linux" version there but it dies instantly. Unfortunately I can't quote
the error messages since I'm no longer looking at them but I believe it
was a NoClassDefFOund exception on some class in a com.ibm... package.
From which I concluded that Jazz requires the IBM JRE. So I went
looking for an IBM JRE for Solaris but apparently there's no such thing.

Before I waste too much more time chasing this down, is it possible to
get the server running on Solaris?

Thanks,
DSB

Hi David

Not sure if this will help at all - but worth a look at how people get the Jazz Server running on a Mac (Intel) using the linux version.

David,
as per your required JRE question, please refer to:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/rtc/v1r0m1/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.install.doc/topics/c_supported_server_environments.html
(...)
The server requires one of the following JREs:

* IBM JRE 1.5 Service Release 7 (Bundled)
* Sun JRE 1.5 Update 14

(...)

Eric.

Anthony,

Thank you very much, this seems to work fine on Solaris as well. I'd
done much the same myself but missed the s/IBM509/Sun509/ which made all
the difference.

The one additional thing I had to do was change the #! in the top line
of both startup and shutdown scripts to a newer shell. Apparently they
depend on some bash syntax which is not supported by /bin/sh on Solaris.
I chose to use the POSIX shell (#!/usr/xpg4/bin/sh) but Sun bundles bash
so I presume #!/bin/bash would have worked too.

Thanks,
David

Hi David

Quite a coincidence, someone just asked me about running on Solaris too, so thanks for testing this for me :-)
