Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Console Mode

This section describes how to install JRockit Real Time using console mode, rather than from a GUI.

Installing JRockit Real Time in Console Mode

To install JRockit Real Time in console mode, do the following:

  1. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate version of JRockit Real Time for your operating system (see Table 1).
  2. On your local drive, locate the executable file for the version of JRockit Real Time you want to install:
  3. Note: If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable.
  4. Open a command window or console on your computer.
  5. Change to the directory from which you want to install JRockit Real Time.
  6. At the command line, enter:
  7. jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>-<platform>.<ext> -mode=console

    where <ext> is the file name extension; that is, exe on Windows and bin on Linux and Solaris.

    The system responds:

    Extracting 0%....................................100%

    Once the extraction process is complete, the system will prompt you through the installation, replicating the procedures described in Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time.

Note: If you don’t specify -mode=console at the command line, the installer will revert to GUI mode, as described in Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time.

Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Console Mode

To uninstall Windows versions, use one of the methods described in Uninstalling Windows Versions and Uninstalling Windows Versions from the Command Line.

To uninstall Linux and Solaris versions, use the method described in Uninstalling Linux and Solaris Versions from the Command Line.

 


Installing and Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Silent Mode

The silent installation mode lets you set installation configurations only once and then use those configurations to duplicate the installation on many machines. During installation in silent mode, the installation program reads installation options from an XML file that you create prior to beginning the installation (see The silent.xml File). The installation program does not display any configuration options during the installation process. For more information on silent mode, please refer to “What Is Silent-Mode Installation?” in the Oracle WebLogic Server Installation Guide.

The silent.xml File

For a silent mode installation to be successful, you will need to create the file silent.xml and store it on your computer. This file contains the values you want included in your setup. Listing 1 shows an example of a silent.xml file for JRockit Real Time 3.1.0 for Java SE 6.

Listing 1 Example of a silent.xml File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
<domain-template-descriptor>

<!--
The values in this example silent.xml file corresponds to a default
installation of Oracle JRockit Real Time 3.1.0 for Java SE 6 on

</domain-template-descriptor>

Installing JRockit Real Time in Silent Mode

To install JRockit Real Time in silent mode, do the following (this procedure assumes that silent.xml is stored in the same directory as the JRockit Real Time installer):

  1. Make sure you have downloaded the appropriate version of JRockit Real Time for your operating system (see Table 1).
  2. On your local drive, locate the executable file for the version of JRockit Real Time you want to install:
  3. Note: If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable.
  4. Open a command window or console on your computer.
  5. Change to the directory from which you want to install JRockit Real Time.
  6. At the command line, enter:
  7. jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>-<platform>.<ext> -mode=silent -silent_xml="silent.xml"

    where <ext> is the file name extension; that is, exe on Windows and bin on Linux and Solaris.

    You will receive a message advising that files are being extracted and no other confirmation.

To confirm the sucessful installation on Windows, you can look for Oracle JRockit Real Time [version] in your Start menu.

Note: If you want to create an install log, add the option -log=log.log at the end of the command.

Uninstalling JRockit Real Time in Silent Mode

To uninstall Windows versions, use one of the methods described in Uninstalling Windows Versions and Uninstalling Windows Versions from the Command Line.

To uninstall Linux and Solaris versions, use the method described in Uninstalling Linux and Solaris Versions from the Command Line.

 


Special Note About Installing on Linux or Solaris

If you are installing JRockit Real Time on either a Linux or Solaris machine, note the following information.

Ensure the Installer is Executable

If you install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris by using the .bin file, you need to ensure the file is executable. You can use chmod +x <filename> to make the file executable.

Acquire Root Access for System Wide Installation

If you choose to install JRockit Real Time on Linux or Solaris into a system-wide location such as /usr/local, you must first become the root user to gain the necessary permissions. If you do not have root access, simply install JRockit Real Time into a directory where you have permission to write, for example, your home directory.

Default Location of System Preferences

When installing on Linux and Solaris, the default location for system preferences will be:

[JAVA_HOME]/.systemPrefs

where [JAVA_HOME]=[INSTALL_DIR]/jre.

unless the user is root, in which case it will be /etc/.java/.systemPrefs.

 


Integration with Oracle Universal Installer

Starting with JRockit Real Time 3.1.0, each product installation directory is also an Oracle home, allowing additional product registration with the Oracle Central Inventory. The Central Inventory contains information about all installed Oracle products on the same host and can be managed by running the Oracle Universal Installer.

Note: The examples assume that you have installed Oracle Universal Installer either directly or indirectly as part of another Oracle product. For more information on how to start the Oracle Universal Installer see:

http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/em.111/b31207/oui4_product_install.htm#i1005879 

The Oracle home name in the examples is supposed to be unique between all Oracle products installed on the same host and is obtained from the name of the default product installation directory by replacing dashes by underscores, removing dots in product version numbers, and attaching the name of the architecture.

Attaching JRockit Real Time to the Central Inventory

Once you have installed JRockit Real Time, you can attach it to the Central Inventory by using the Oracle Universal Installer.

Use this command for Windows platforms:

Note: This example assumes that you are using the Windows command prompt (DOS) or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory.
setup.exe -noconsole -attachHome \
ORACLE_HOME="%ProgramFiles%\JRockit Real Time\jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrrt_<jrrt_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"

Use this command for Linux and Solaris platforms:

Note: This example assumes that you are using the UNIX bash shell or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory.
./runInstaller -attachHome \ 
ORACLE_HOME="$HOME/jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrrt_<jrrt_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"

Detaching JRockit Real Time from the Central Inventory

Before you uninstall JRockit Real Time you should ensure that it is detached from the Central Inventory.

Use this command for Windows platforms:

This example assumes that you are using the Windows command prompt (DOS) or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory.

setup.exe -noconsole -detachHome \
ORACLE_HOME="%ProgramFiles%\JRockit Real Time\jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrrt_<jrrt_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"

Use this command for Linux and Solaris platforms:

This example assumes that you are using the UNIX bash shell or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory.

./runInstaller -detachHome \
ORACLE_HOME="$HOME/jrrt-<jrrt_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrrt_<jrrt_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"
