Getting Started

    Java Development Kit 1.1.7B for SCO Operating Systems

The Java Development Kit (JDK) for SCO Operating Systems ^TM is a powerful development and execution environment that is portable, object-oriented, platform independent, and especially well-suited for developing Internet-enabled applications. The JDK includes both the execution environment needed to run Java applications and the basic development environment tools needed to build Java applications.

The JDK 1.1.7B web download contains the following improvements over JDK 1.1.7A:

• restoration and improvement of the Just-In-Time (JIT) compiler
• a number of fixes and performance improvements to the JDK 1.1.7
• upgrading to the Sun 1.1.7B baseline

System Requirements

The SCO JDK 1.1.7B will run on SCO UnixWare 7, UnixWare 2.1.3 and OpenServer Operating Systems with details for each platform specified below:

UnixWare 7

Software: UnixWare 7.1.1, or UnixWare 7.1.0, with required PTFs (see the JDK 1.1.7B Release Notes)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 15MB to 132MB free disk space depending on which packages are installed

UnixWare 2.1.3

Software: SCO UnixWare 2.1.3 with the version 7.1.1 UW2compat module installed (see below)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 52MB free disk space

OpenServer

Software: SCO OpenServer^TM Release 5.0.2, 5.0.4 and 5.0.5 with the version 7.1.1 OSRcompat module installed (see below)
RAM: 32MB minimum; 64MB recommended
Disk Space: 52MB free disk space

Installation

Once you have downloaded the product files from the Download page, perform the following steps as root:

1. Move the files to a preferred installation directory, for example:

   mv  P*.tar  /tmp or
   mv  D*.tar  /tmp

2. Change to the installation directory:

   cd  /tmp

3. Extract the files. This command must be performed on each file individually.

   tar  xvf  <filename>.tar

4. Concatenate the resulting files as follows:

   cat  jdk1  jdk2  >  jdk117.ds.Z
   cat  jdkpls1  jdkpls2  jdkpls3  >  jdk117pls.ds.Z

5. Uncompress the files:

   uncompress  *.Z

6. If you are installing the JDK on either OpenServer or Unixware 2.1.3 systems, you should first determine if you have the correct version of the compatibility module for that platform. To do this, enter (where module name is either OSRcompat or UW2compat):

   pkginfo -l  <module name>

   If there is no compatibility module installed, or you have an older version, you can download the latest version from the SCO Download page. To remove an older version, enter:

   pkgrm  <module name>

   To install a new compatibility module, extract and uncompress the file as described above and enter:

   pkgadd  <module name>

   ---

   NOTE: If you are installing the JDK on UnixWare 2.1.3, before you can remove the UW2compat module, you will need to remove ptf4001. The latest version of this PTF is also available for download. Please see the Getting Started pages for the UW2compat module.

   ---

7. Install the packages as described in the JDK 1.1.7B Release Notes:

   pkgadd  -d  /tmp/jdk117.ds
   pkgadd  -d  /tmp/jdk117pls.ds

8. When you you have completed the installation, you will probably want to remove the download packages from the /tmp directory, as they are rather large.
