MarkView All Components - How can I determine which Java Development Kit (JDK) and Java Runtime Environment (JRE) versions are installed on the application server?

Applies To

ERP System: ( Oracle, SAP, Peoplesoft) MarkView Version: (All Versions.)

Behavior

Need to verify the version of Java for the application server

Resolution

The JRE is shipped as part of the JDK. To check the version installed, at the command prompt, enter the following command:

$ java -version
java version "1.4.2_08"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_08-b03)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_08-b03, mixed mode)

The JDK must appear before the Oracle Client in your PATH setting. Either install your JDK before you install the Oracle Client, or edit your PATH setting once both are installed.

To check your PATH setting, at the command prompt type the following:

PATH

After typing this command you should see something similar to the following returned to the command session window:

C:\Sun\AppServer\bin;C:\Oracle9i\bin;C:\oracle\ora81\bin;C:\Oracle9iAS\iSuites\bin;...

Running the following command will tell you what directory java is executed from on the machine:

which java

The results should look like the following:

C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\java.exe

Next steps is to verify the contents of the C:\Sun\AppServer\; directory, from the command window please change your directory to C:\Sun\AppServer\.

Then type in the following command:

C:\Sun\AppServer>ls -ltr

The results of this command should look like the following:

The existence of a JRE directory does not guarantee that JDK is installed. To confirm that JDK is installed, locate file 'javac' (java compiler) in the below directory (javac is only installed as part of the JDK, not JRE).

C:\Sun\AppServer\bin\javac.exe
