fact

RedHat Linux 7.1

Novell RConJ

Novell RConsoleJ

note

This is not a supported solution from Novell, therefore no support can be provided.

symptom

RConJ is not provided for Unix/Linux.

fix

To get RConJ working on Unix/Linux you must have one of the following:

• ConsoleOne(1.2d or later) must have been installed and working.
• Working 3rd party JVM (JDK or JRE)

 

• With ConsoleOne

1.  Copy rconsolej.jar and slp-sp.zip from sys:/public/mgmt/ConsoleOne/1.2/lib to /usr/ConsoleOne/lib using ftp, or other means
2.  Create a rconj.sh in /usr/ConsoleOne:
    // CUT
    java -version
   
    IBMJREHOME=/opt/IBMJava2-13/jre
   
    rconjpath=$IBMJREHOME/lib
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/snapins/core/console.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/lib/mach/mach.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/lib/mach/admin.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/lib/core/ndsNameSpace.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOne.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneCore.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/swing.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/jh.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/collections.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/jgl3.1.0.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/widgets.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/jndi.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/consoleOneExt/njcl.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/lib/rconsolej.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/ConsoleOne/lib/slp-sp.zip
   
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usrConsoleOne/help
   
    $IBMJREHOME/bin/java -classpath $CLASSPATH:$rconjpath com.novell.application.rconsolej.RConsoleJ
    // CUT
   
3.  Flag the rconj.sh executable: chmod 755 rconj.sh
4.  Run /usr/ConsoleOne/rconj.sh and you should be presented with your normal RconJ login window.
   
   

• Working 3. party JVM

1. Copy rconsolej.jar and slp-sp.zip from sys:/public/mgmt/ConsoleOne/1.2/lib to /usr/RConJ/lib using ftp, or other means.
2. Create a rconj.sh in /usr/RConJ
    java -version
    rconjpath=/usr/RConJ/lib/rconsolej.jar
    rconjpath=$rconjpath:/usr/RConJ/lib/slp-sp.zip
    java -classpath $CLASSPATH:$rconjpath com.novell.application.rconsolej.RConsoleJ
3. Flag the rconj.sh executable: chmod 755 rconj.sh
4.  Run /usr/RConJ/rconj.sh and you should be presented with your normal RConJ login window. There will be some error on the console, but it works.

For both solutions, depending on the desktop window (X Setup), RConJ may look different on Unix/Linux than on Windows.
