Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Getting Started:
Installation and Configuration

Specific considerations

Note the following considerations.

HP Tru64, AIX, UNIX, and Linux

If you are installing OpenEdge on a HP Tru64, or Linux machine, you must first install the required version of the JRE and/or JDK (if not already installed on your system). The directory where you install the JRE and/or JDK must be in your search PATH when you install and subsequently run OpenEdge. For more information on the JRE and JDK requirements, see Chapter 2, " UNIX Systems Installation Requirements."

OpenEdge SQL

The installation program does not automatically install the JDK component when you install the OpenEdge Enterprise RDBMS, the OpenEdge Personal RDBMS, or the OpenEdge Workgroup RDBMS with SQL Client Access. (However, the program does automatically install the JRE.)

If you intend to develop Java stored procedures and Java triggers for your database, you must install an OpenEdge development product such as 4GL Development System. For information on writing Java stored procedures and triggers, see OpenEdge Data Management: SQL Development .
