Java SDK collection
Use this page to specify the default software development kit (SDK) for a node. This page lists the software development kits that are installed on the node. A node can have one default SDK. Servers on the node use the default SDK unless a server overrides the SDK selection and specifies a different SDK.
To view this administrative console page, go to the Java™ SDK page of the node or server for which you want to specify a default SDK:
- For an application server, click .
- For an administrative agent, click .
- For a job manager, click .
- For a deployment manager, click .
- For a deployment manager node, click .
To specify a default SDK for the node or server, select an SDK from the list and click Make Default.
Name
Specifies the name of an SDK that is installed on the node.
Version
Specifies the version number of the SDK.
Location
Specifies the path of the SDK installation.
Bits
Specifies the number of bits for the SDK.
Distributed and IBM® i software development kits can have 32-bit or 64-bit modes. The z/OS® SDK has 64-bit and 31-bit modes.
The number of bits might be shown in the SDK name; for example, 1.6_32
for the
32-bit SDK version 1.6. However, do not rely upon the SDK name for the number of bits. Use the
Bits value to determine the number of bits for the SDK.
Default
Specifies whether the SDK is the current default SDK for the node. A
true
value indicates that the SDK is the default. A false
value
indicates that the SDK is not the default.
A node can have no more than one SDK with a true
value. A node can have many
software development kits with a false
value.
