Installing IBM Toolbox for Java on an iSeries server

You need to install IBM® Toolbox for Java™ on your iSeries™ server only when you have configured the server or a partition of the server as a client.

Note: The native version of IBM Toolbox for Java ships with i5/OS™. So, if you want to use IBM Toolbox for Java only on your iSeries server, you do not have to install the licensed product. For more information about the native version of IBM Toolbox for Java, see Jar files: Note 1.

Before installing IBM Toolbox for Java, you need to ensure that your version of i5/OS meets the requirements for running IBM Toolbox for Java. Also, some servers come preconfigured with an installation of IBM Toolbox for Java. You may want to determine whether the IBM Toolbox for Java licensed product is already installed on your server.
