Installing and configuring the JRE

You can download and install the JRE from the Java Website at

http://java.sun.com/products/

archive

.

In a Windows environment, you can verify that JRE was successfully installed if you are able to
view the Java icon in the Control Panel. You should be able to launch the Java Control Panel by
double-clicking the Java icon.

In a UNIX or Linux environment, you can verify that JRE was successfully installed if you are able
to open the ControlPanel.html file, which is located in the JRE root directory.

On the JRE of each Remote Web Console computer, Java log file trace and logging must be enabled
and caching must be disabled. The Java log file can help you troubleshoot a problem when an
application error occurs in the Remote Web Console Web client. Disabling the caching feature
can help prevent complications when the microcode is updated. See the

http://java.sun.com

Website for more information on configuring JRE through the Java Control Panel.

Configuring JRE

After installing the JRE file on UNIX workstations, you must set the file path for the installation
directory.

In a B Shell, issue the following command:

PATH=$PATH:[JRE installation directory path]/jre/bin
export PATH

In a C Shell, issue the following command:

setenv PATH ${PATH}:[JRE installation directory path]/jre/bin
