INSTALLATION OF DATA PROTECTION SAP DB2/ORACLE FAILS WITH AN ILLEGAL INSTRUCTION EXCEPTION | |
product: | |
DP-MY SAP W/DB2 / 5698ERPD2 / 71W - DB2 | |
Problem description: | |
The installation of IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning: Data Protection for SAP for DB2 crashes. The exception error shown in the Microsoft Windows event logs indicate that ?IBM Java is not installed?. This message is misleading as the installer does not require a specific Java version to be installed. The install package includes a JVM that will be used during the installation. The following is an example of the error found in the event log: Type=Illegal instruction vmState=0x00000000 Windows_ExceptionCode=c000001d J9Generic_Signal=00000010 ExceptionAddress=000007 FED3C04CD0 ContextFlags=0010005f Handler1=000007FEE9B16D90 Handler2=000007FEEEE04FC0 Compiled_method=java/lang/StringBuffer.append(C)Ljava/lang/Strin gBuffer; Target=2_70_20131114_175264 (Windows Server 2008 R2 6.1 build 7601 Service Pack 1) CPU=amd64 (16 logical CPUs) (0x7f839c000 RAM) ----------- Stack Backtrace ----------- (0x000007FED3C04CD0) (0x0000000000000001) (0x00000000028828F8) i2jReturnTable+0x0 (jitsend.asm:231, 0x000007FEE55E0C44 [j9jit27+0x590c44]) | |
Problem Summary: | |
**************************************************************** * USERS AFFECTED: * * Users installing IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise * * Resource Planning v7.1.3 on Windows. * **************************************************************** * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: * * See ERROR DESCRIPTION * **************************************************************** * RECOMMENDATION: * * Upgrade to IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise Resource * * Planning v8.1 * **************************************************************** | |
Local Fix: | |
The installation package can be started with a command line argument that calls a JVM that is installed on the system. The Java version that is installed must be a current version of 1.7 or any 1.8 Java. The command line call to start the installer with a different JVM is: 7.1.3.0-ERPDB2-Windowsx86_64.exe LAX_VM "C:Program FilesJavajre1.8injava.exe" This installation issue is not present in IBM Spectrum Protect for Enterprise Resource Planning: Data Protection for SAP for DB2 and Oracle version 8.1 packages, as those use a newer version of JVM. | |
