It worked once and I'm not going to try it again (why bother?). The setup.aix is just an executable that execs a java process using setup.jar. I'm not really happy and this system is pretty unstable, but so it goes. I'm still struggling with igoring the problems I see or I wouldn't get anything else done.

Hi Henry

So, it's basically working now ? Or are you still trying to figure out the "why" part ?
What does this setup.aix do ? Is it an executable that execs a java process starting setup.jar ?
Or is it a script you could post here so I can take a look at it ? Regarding the logs, usually, if a java programm is started and crashes, it gives you a stack trace, depending on some command line parameters (like verbose).

> It completed successfully (arrgh!!!) after a week of no luck. Better a week of no luck then a week of no lunch.

Good luck,
Stefan

Stephan,

Thanks for the reply. You were right, it had nothing to do with java 3D. I just wish I knew what caused the problem, but with the lack of controls around here it is tough to test. I noticed the error consistently appeared in one of two spots, so I set up 4 scenarios to test (different sets of environment variables). Scenarios 1&2 gave errorA, while scenarios 3&4 gave errorB. I thought the difference was either due to the different env variables, or maybe some OS resources weren't being cleaned up, so I reran scenarioA. It completed successfully (arrgh!!!) after a week of no luck. I don't have a clue. Oh well.

Hi Henry

I don't know anything about Peoplesoft, but it is very unlikely, that any kind of java based installer needs Java 3D. Java 3D is more comparable to the OpenGL libary and I just can't imagine the need for it in an installer, unless you want some neat 3D features like animated scenes of buckets of bytes flying from A to B ;).

What Java version does you installer need ? Does it come with it's own runtime ? Is the correct runtime found ? Are there any issues with this particular version on AIX (like with Sun's JDK 1.3.1 on Linux for the Oracle installer) ? Are any Peoplesoft specific libraries needed ? If so, check the classpath on the machine where it works.

Regards,
Stefan

I have a java question so I figured I'd tap into some of the non-Oracle expertise on this list. I'm doing a PeopleSoft install (basically setup.aix calls a setup.jar file). This worked on one AIX (4.3.3) box, but is dying (with no useful error messages or log files) on another box. Checking the java directories, I noticed java3d is installed on the good box, not on the bad box. This might be it, but my SA is grumbling about adding that piece to the other box. He said it failed because of some missing AIX pieces (patches?). Here are my two questions:

Is there any java trace I can use to see where the PeopleSoft install is dying? Can I confirm it's a call to java3d?
Can I safely just copy over the java3d directory, lib files, and bin files from one machine to the other? If the original install failed because of some missing OS stuff, this doesn't seem safe to me (but where does java tie in to the OS?)

Sorry for the off-topic post.

Henry
