Re: IDS 11.50.xC6 is out...

Few clarifications to questions / comments: 1. Installer always attempts to use JRE from the PATH first. It enables the installer to start quickly. In case of Linux, since a standard JRE is not shipped, its recommended to use "-javahome none" switch to the installer. It forces the installer to use bundled JRE (ensure file .jvm.bin is present in the directory from where installer is launched). 2. If you are installing, continuing to use the same release of Linux on new or existing machine, IDS will work. 3. With 11.50.xC6, as far as media types are concerned, RPM support has been reintroduced. Based on the enclosed part number reference, - tar file is the same as previous releases of 11.50. - bin file provides an RPM based installer. See Infocenter documentation which will be updated soon with details on this (should be available by 01/05/10) - we will work to enhance description for bin file.

The typical problemwith the installation relates to the fact that some Linuxes don't bring a "proper" Java. This "proper" of course has to be put into quotes. I believe it's "open-jdk". And this has some known issues. If you don't have Java installed it will use a JRE bundled in the package. As of yet I didn't know of other way to force this besides the dirty trick of "mv /usr/bin/java /usr/bin/java.ori". Art has another solution that I don't know if it was introduced in this fixpack (check his post please). As for the filling of a bug there are two problems: 1- I don't have access to it (some IBMers posting here may have). 2- If you're not following the pre-requisites it would not be accepted (like if you're installing in a non-supported Linux flavour, or if the requirements reference a standard JRE for example (I didn't check it...)
