Verifying the installation

Follow these steps to check that your installation was successful.

Before you begin

To help ensure that the verification process behaves consistently, first run these commands:
unset LIBPATH
unset CLASSPATH
unset JAVA_COMPILER
unset JAVA_HOME
export PATH=/usr/java-ppc32-60-srt/jre/bin:/usr/java-ppc32-60-srt/bin:$PATH

Procedure

If you issue the command:
java -Xgcpolicy:metronome -version
you can expect to see this information, which verifies that the installation has worked:
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build pap3260srtsr3-20090617_01(SR3))
IBM J9 VM (build 2.5, J2RE 1.6.0 IBM J9 2.5 AIX ppc-32 jvmap32srt60sr3-20090616_37328 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled)
J9VM - 20090616_037328
JIT  - r10_20090615_2033
GC   - 20090603_AA)
JCL  - 20090603_01
Dates, times, and specific build information might be different.

What to do next

When verification is complete, log on again and review any values that you might have assigned to these variables for possible conflicts.

Unless the .hotjava directory already exists, run the applet viewer to create a directory called .hotjava in your home directory. Issuing the command:
ls -a ~
should confirm that the directory has been created.
