jrmc-3.1.0-1.6.0
In this example, the product is JRockit Mission Control 3.1.0 for Java SE 6.
This section explains how to install and uninstall a standalone version of JRockit Mission Control in GUI mode for the following platforms:
| Note: | If you are installing on Linux and Solaris, please refer to Default Location of System Preferences for information on where to fnd the system preferences. |
In the following procedure you will run the self-installing executable (Windows) or the self-extracting binary (Solaris and Linux). The screen shots are taken from a Windows installation of JRockit Mission Control. Table 1 lists the installers.
| Note: | If you install JRockit Mission Control on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable. |
The install process begins and the Oracle installer window appears, followed by the Welcome window.
The Choose Product Installation Directories window appears (see Figure 1).
| Note: | If you want a different location for the installation you can pick one by clicking Browse or type a new directory into the Product Installation Directory field. By clicking Discard Changes, you set the selection back to the default directory. |
The Optional Components window appears (see Figure 2).
The Install Public JRE window appears (see Figure 3).
If you selected Yes to the Install Public JRE prompt, the Choose Product Installation Directories window reappears, this time showing the default installation directory for the Public JRE. You can change the installation directory, if you want or leave the default.
The Oracle Installer window appears and the installation process continues, as indicated on the progress meter in the lower right corner of the window (see Figure 4).
When the installation is complete, the Installation Complete window appears.
JRockit Mission Control is now installed.
You can start Oracle JRockit Mission Control 3.1.0 from the Start menu.
Once you have installed JRockit Mission Control, you need to add it to your path.
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. |
set PATH=%ProgramFiles%\Java\jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>\bin;%PATH%
Use this command for Linux and Solaris platforms:

This section describes how to install JRockit Mission Control using console mode, rather than from a GUI.
To install JRockit Mission Control in console mode, do the following:
| Note: | If you install JRockit Mission Control on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable. |
jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>-<platform>.<ext> -mode=console
where <ext> is the file name extension, which is exe on Windows and bin on Linux and Solaris.
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 Mission Control.
| 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 Mission Control. |
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.
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.
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; for example, whether or not you want the public JRE installed. Listing 1 shows an example of a silent.xml file for JRockit Mission Control 3.1.0 for Java SE 6.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<domain-template-descriptor>

To install JRockit Mission Control in silent mode, do the following (this procedure assumes that silent.xml is stored in the same directory as the JRockit Mission Control installer):
| Note: | If you install JRockit Mission Control on Linux or Solaris please refer to Ensure the Installer is Executable. |
jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>-<platform>.<ext> -mode=silent -silent_xml="silent.xml"
where <ext> is the file name extension, which 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 Mission Control [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. |
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.
If you are installing JRockit Mission Control on either a Linux or Solaris machine, note the following information.
If you install JRockit Mission Control 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.
If you choose to install JRockit Mission Control 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 Mission Control into a directory where you have permission to write, for example, your home directory.
When installing on Linux and Solaris, the default location for system preferences will be:
where [JAVA_HOME]=[INSTALL_DIR]/jre.
unless the user is root, in which case it will be /etc/.java/.systemPrefs.
Starting with JRockit Mission Control 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: |
| Note: | 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. |
Once you have installed JRockit Mission Control, 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%\Java\jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrmc_<jrmc_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="$HOME/jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrmc_<jrmc_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"
Before you uninstall JRockit Mission Control you should ensure that it is detached from the Central Inventory.
Use this command for Windows platforms:
| Note: | This example assumes that you are using the Windows command prompt (DOS) or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory. |
setup.exe -noconsole -detachHome \
ORACLE_HOME="%ProgramFiles%\Java\jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrmc_<jrmc_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"
Use this command for Linux and Solaris platforms:
| Note: | This example assumes that you are using the UNIX bash shell or compatible command shell and have selected the default product installation directory. |
./runInstaller -detachHome \
ORACLE_HOME="$HOME/jrmc-<jrmc_version>-<java_version>" \
ORACLE_HOME_NAME="jrmc_<jrmc_version_compact>_<java_version_compact>_<arch>"
