IMPORTANT: In order to successfully install and run JDK 5.0 for OpenVMS Alpha, mandatory prerequisite patches (ECOs) must be installed. These ECOs are listed below. Do NOT attempt to run the JDK 5.0 kit without first installing these ECOs. Also note that JDK 5.0 MUST be installed on an ODS-5 formatted disk.

Technical support requests relating to OpenVMS Alpha and these patches should be sent through your normal service and support channels. For more information, see software support.

Download ECOs

The ECOs cited below for OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 and V8.3 are required to run the JDK. Note there are two types of mandatory ECOs:

  • Mandatory Rating 1 ECOs for OpenVMS Alpha. These ECOs must be installed and up-to-date. Note that some ECOs in this category were released specifically to address Java problems.
  • Additional Mandatory ECOs for Java Applications. These ECOs are required when using the JDK.

The latest ECO kits can be downloaded from the HP Support Center by using your HP Passport account.

Install the patch versions listed below, or later, if superseded.

Patches for OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 (REQUIRED to run the JDK)

  • All Rating 1 ECOs for V8.3 (search keyword = 'INSTALL_1' )
  • DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP-V0507-13ECO1-1 for TCPIP V5.7 (or latest ECO)
    or
    DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP-V0506-9EC01-1 for TCPIP V5.6 (or latest ECO)
  • VMS83A_ACRTL-V0600 (or latest ECO)
  • VMS83A_PTHREAD-V0200 (or latest ECO)

Patches for OpenVMS Alpha V8.2 (REQUIRED to run the JDK)

  • All Rating 1 ECOs for V8.2 (search keyword = 'INSTALL_1' )
  • DEC-AXPVMS-TCPIP-V0506-9ECO5-1 (TCP/IP V5.6 or latest ECO)
  • VMS82A_ACRTL-V0600 (or latest ECO)
  • VMS82A_PTHREAD-V0400 (or latest ECO)

Note for Additional Mandatory ECOs:

Because the status of ECOs changes frequently as new versions supersede previous versions, we recommend that you search the ECOs cited above, and install the 'most recent' version resulting in your search. To verify that you have the correct file, refer to the 'Patch Details'. The Release Notes generally list any ECO kits superseded by the most current kit.

Installation Instructions
IMPORTANT: Before installing the required patches, you should read the patch documentation for any restrictions that might affect you. In most cases you can examine these files via a web browser, or download the patch kit and extract the documentation files.
