SQL/MX Remote Conversational Interface (RMXCI) Guide for SQL/MX Release 3.1 (H06.23+, J06.12+)

Installing a supported Java version
To install one of the supported Java versions on the client workstation, follow the instructions on
the Oracle website:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
After installing the Java version, proceed with “Verifying the Java version” (page 13).
Verifying the Java version
To display the Java version of the client workstation, from the client terminal window, enter the
following command:
/usr/home:java -version
The following is a sample output:
java version "1.6.0_17"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.7.10) (rhel-1.39.b17.el6_0-i386)
OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)
If the returned version is not supported or is unavailable, see “Setting the PATH for a supported
Java version ” (page 13).
Setting the PATH for a supported Java version
1. In the /home directory, open the user profile (.profile or .bash_profile). For example,
using vi command, the following command opens the .profile file:
/home:vi .profile
2. In the user profile, set the PATH environment variable to include the path of the Java bin
directory, for example:
export PATH=/opt/java1.5/jre/bin:$PATH
NOTE: Place the path of the Java bin directory before $PATH, and ensure that no space
is after the colon (:) in the path. In the C shell, use the setenv command instead of export.
3. To activate the changes, either log out and log in again or run the user profile command. For
example:
/home:. .profile
