Tivoli Directory Integrator 7 - More on Updates

After much trial and a lot of error, I realised that my TDI update wasn't ever going to finish properly until: -

(a) I used X11
(b) I had the right version of Java installed

When I ran the update from a console  session, it failed  with messages relating to a X11 window not being able to open. When I finally ran the update from an X terminal, I saw the error, which pointed me to a log file: -

/opt/IBM/TDI/V7.0/ce/eclipsece/configuration/1291492401767.log

which showed: -

...
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.ibm.tdi.loader.TDIClassLoaderHook
...
java.lang.RuntimeException: No application id has been found.
...

and ended with: -

!MESSAGE Missing Constraint: Bundle-RequiredExecutionEnvironment: JavaSE-1.6

This led me to check that I had the right version of Java installed - I was still using the version of Java 1.4.2 installed in /etc/alternatives - so I installed Java 6 Update 21

./jre-6u21-linux-i586-rpm.bin

java -version

now returns: -

java version "1.6.0_21"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_21-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 17.0-b16, mixed mode, sharing)

Having done this, I re-ran the update ( having ensure that I'd run ./applyUpdates.sh -rollback beforehand.
