AIX: launch command classpath truncated

[smathur]

Has anyone encountered the following problem?



When using ISMP 11.5 MP Dynamic suite installer, when doing a jvm search or bundling your own jvm, the launch command that is used to launch the installer gets truncated at certain number of characters.



In this case, the classpath is long because a number of jar files were added to be embedded with the installer:



As you can see here is the launch command when launching it on an AIX machine:

LAUNCH_COMMAND="/tmp/istemp634956197225919/_bundledJRE_/bin/java" -cp .:::::"#CLASSPATH#":.:"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/suite.jar"::"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/com.tibco.neo.launch_1.2.0.003.jar":"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/org.eclipse.osgi3.2.2.R32x_v20070118.jar":"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/com.tibco.corona.installation.machine.model_1.0.0.006.jar":"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/org.eclipse.emf.common_2.2.1.v200705141058.jar":"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/com.tibco.neo.osgi.tools_1.0.0.006.jar":"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/org.e:"/tmp/istemp634956197225919/org.eclipse.emf.ecore.xmi_2.2.3.v200705141058.jar":::: -Djava.io.tmpdir="/tmp" -Dtemp.dir="/tmp" -Dis.jvm.home="/tmp/istemp634956197225919/_bundledJRE_" -Dis.jvm.temp="1" -Dis.media.home="/tmp/istemp634956197225919/suite.jar" -Dis.launcher.file="/rv/home/smathur/universalinstaller/aix/./TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin" -Dis.jvm.file="/tmp/istemp634956197225919/_bundledJRE_/jvm" -Dis.external.home="/rv/home/smathur/universalinstaller/aix/." run "-console" 1>&1 2>>/tmp/istemp634956197225919/APP_STDERR



Here is the launch command when launching it on a Solaris machine:

As you can see, the classpath gets cut off on AIX as where is Solaris, it does not. The cutting off of the classpath causes the java usage output to be outputted and the launch of the installer fails. This is a serious issue since we cannot launch the installer on AIX in both the case where we are doing a jvm search or if we are bundling a jvm. It is to note that the jvm used in both cases is 1.5.

Please ignore the #CLASSPATH# value in the AIX launch command. The same thing happens without this value being there so this is not the issue.
