IC86820: (CM) AFTER INSTALL OF 64BIT VERSION OF SSPCM, THE SSPCM STARTUP SCRIPT DEFAULTS TO THE 32 BIT JAVA ON SOLARIS

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Customer updated SSPcm to run using the 64 bit version but the
  default remain with using the 32 bit Java version.
  
  Workaround: Change the SSPcm startup script to point to the 64
  bit Java version that we ship with the product.
  

Local fix

• Document: Workaround Setup for SSPcm and SSPeng to use IBM
  64bit Java on Solaris
  
  Purpose: To allow SSPcm and SSPeng to use 64bit java when using
  Solaris.  By default, the startup scripts are pointing to the
  32 bit java program in the
  current install directory of the product.  During the original
  installation, the 64bit java is also installed on Solaris.
  
  Task:
  After updgrading, the user will need to point the startup
  scripts to the 64bit java.
  
  1) First verify that the 64bit java exist in the product
  installed path by listing the file:
  
  ls -l <SSPcmInstallDir>/jre/bin/sparv9/java
  ls -l <SSPengInstallDir>/jre/bin/sparv9/java
  
  2) If file exist, change the startup scripts by doing the
  following:
  
  SSPcm Startup Script (startCM.sh):
  
  In <SSPcmInstallDir>\bin\startCM.sh you will see the following
  3 lines that is currently pointing to the 32bit java on Solaris:
  
  Example:
  Old:
  PP=`"/home/SSPcm/jre/bin/java" -cp
  ${LIB_DIR}/sterling/componentCommon.jar...
  echo "${PP}" | nohup "/home/SSP/ssp3410_cm/jre/bin/java"
  -server -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp...
  nohup "/home/SSPcm/jre/bin/java" -server -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp
  ${CLASSPATH}...
  
  New Change:
  PP=`"/home/SSPcm/jre/bin/sparcv9/java" -cp
  ${LIB_DIR}/sterling/componentCommon.jar...
  echo "${PP}" | nohup "/home/SSPcm/jre/bin/sparcv9/java" -server
  -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp...
  nohup "/home/SSPcm/jre/bin/sparcv9/java" -server -Xmx${MAXHEAP}
  -cp ${CLASSPATH}...
  
  
  SSP Engine Startup Script (startEngine.sh):
  
  In the script <SSPengInstallDir>/bin/startEngine.sh you will
  see the following 3 lines that is currently pointing to the
  32bit java on Solaris:
  
  <SSPengInstallDir>/jre/bin/java
  
  Change the lines to reflect the path to the path to the 64bit
  Java.
  
  <SSPengInstallDir?/jre/bin/sparcv9/java
  
  Example:
  Old:
  PP=`"/home/SSPeng/jre/bin/java" -cp
  ${LIB_DIR}/sterling/componentCommon.jar
  com.sterlingcommerce.component.c...
  echo $PP | nohup "/home/SSPeng/jre/bin/java" -server
  -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp ${CLASSPATH} ${F} ${B} ${C}...
   nohup "/home/SSPeng/jre/bin/java" -server -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp
  ${CLASSPATH} ${F} ${B} ${C} -DvendorFile...
  
  New Change:
  PP=`"/home/SSPeng/jre/bin/sparcv9/java" -cp
  ${LIB_DIR}/sterling/componentCommon.jar
  com.sterlingcommerce.component.c...
  echo $PP | nohup "/home/SSPeng/jre/bin/sparcv9/java" -server
  -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp ${CLASSPATH} ${F} ${B} ${C}...
  nohup "/home/SSPeng/jre/bin/sparcv9/java" -server
  -Xmx${MAXHEAP} -cp ${CLASSPATH} ${F} ${B} ${C} -DvendorFile...

Problem summary

• SSP on Solaris points to the 32-bit JRE, even though the 64-bit
  JRE is shipped.
  The Customer upgraded to SSP 3.3.01 on Solaris to get the 64-bit
  capability, but found that the JRE was only 32-bit. All the
  scripts to run the product and utilities point to the
  ./jre/bin/java executable, which is the 32-bit version of the
  JRE.  The 64-bit version of the jre is at
  ./jre/bin/sparcv9/java.
  

Problem conclusion

• Updated the InstallAnywhere logic for the Solaris platform to
  properly build the scripts to point to the 64-bit version of the
  JRE at ./jre/bin/sparcv9/java.
  

Temporary fix

• Manually update the SSP/bin/startEngine.sh and
  SSPcm/bin/startCM.sh scripts to point to the new java location
  at ./jre/bin/sparcv9/java. However, these scripts get rebuilt
  during any maintenance upgrade.
