Problem
Trying to start cesadmintool.sh fails due to incorrect Java-Path.
Which 32-bit version of Oracle-Java is required to use cesadmintool and how does the PATH-Variable need to be exported correctly?
Resolution
To find the exact versions of 3rd party software your version of COBOL Server is certified with, look at the file env.txt in the $COBDIR/docs directory.
Micro Focus only certifies on the environments that are current at the time the product is built. Also, Micro Focus do not test against freeware products or products that clone other environments. It is purely the responsibility of those products to ensure compatibility with the products they clone.
The file env.txt it will show the supported versions of Java for each supported version of the operating system. These are, and will only ever be, the only ones certified. Provided your software is compatible with one of those versions it should run ok.
The reason Micro Focus looks specifically for “java version” is to make sure it matches the Oracle Java release we test against. Open JDK and IBM’s version of java are meant to be compatible but there are differences which can affect the run time, eclipse and licensing.
