Step 2: Install Java JDK

TIBCO MFT Command Center requires a Java JDK.

Procedure

  1. Install a current version of the Java JDK. Java JDK V1.8 or a later version is supported.
    • Install Java using an RPM or an installation file. It usually installs Java in the following folder:

      /usr/java/jdk1.8.0_xxx-amd64

    • Install Java by unzipping the installation file in the following folder:

      /java/java_jdk1.8.0_xxx where xxx is the Java build level

    Note: In a later step, you must copy the Java files to the image. The commands below assume that Java is installed in directory /java. You must change the directories to reflect the directory where java is installed.
  2. Install the following files from Oracle because TIBCO MFT Command Center uses 256 bit AES encryption: Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files. Copy the two jar files contained in the downloaded zipped folder to the following directory:
    /java/java_jdk1.8.0_xxx/jre/lib/security
  3. Before proceeding further with the installation, set the following environment variables:
    export JAVA_HOME= /java/java_jdk1.8.0_xxx
    export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH
    We suggest adding these to a login profile so that these environment variables are always set.
  4. Verify that JAVA_HOME is correct by issuing the following command:
    ls -la
    $JAVA_HOME/bin/java -version
