install java5 on aix5.3

[gerardus]

I want to install Java5 (file: Java5_64.sdk.tar) on AIX 5.3. Not in the default directory, but in filesystem /usr2. While installing with smitty one cannot change the install directory. How to install this Java5_64.sdk in /usr2?

You need to use AIX Relocation commands:

Hi Khalidaaa, thanks for your support. On this machine there is also Java1.4.2. Does the installation of Java5 damage this or other installations on my machine??

Yes they can coexist with no problems!

For more info:

As shown in Table 1, the install directory of each Java version is different, so multiple Java versions can coexist on AIX as long as environment variables such as PATH, CLASSPATH and other relevant environment variables are set to point to the specific Java version install directory.
