To run WebLogic Server 7.0 on an AIX 5.1 configuration on PowerPC, POWER3 or PowerPC, POWER4, you must first install the IBM SDK 1.3.1 32-bit PTF 1 on your system. This section provides instructions for downloading and installing this SDK, and for then installing WebLogic Server.
Note: This patch is no longer available from IBM, but BEA will continue to support customers who obtained it in the past and are still using it.
IBM is providing an efix for IBM SDK 1.3.1 32-bit PTF 1 (IY30887) that fixes the BEA reported PMR 74336,001,866. If you are using IBM SDK 1.3.1 32-bit PTF 1 (IY30887), you need to apply the PTF for APAR IY33728.

IBM plans to include this efix in the next PTF release. So at that time, this FTP site will be discontinued. You can then install the next IBM SDK 1.3.1 PTF release to get this efix. The README file at the above FTP site provides information on how to install the efix and when the next PTF release will be available.
The commands used to install WebLogic Server vary from one operating system to another. In addition, command-line parameters vary to accommodate the three modes of installation available with WebLogic Server: graphical mode, console mode, and silent mode.
To install WebLogic Server on an AIX system, run the command appropriate for your installation mode:
java -Djdk.check.override=true -classpath pj_server700_generic.jar \com.bea.installer.BEAInstallController
java -Djdk.check.override=true -classpath pj_server700_generic.jar \com.bea.installer.BEAInstallController -mode=console
