Installing the iSeries System Debugger jar file

Before installing iSeries System Debugger, ensure that your client system meets the previously listed hardware and software requirements.

IBM® iSeries System Debugger is packaged in a jar file, called tes.jar, as part of IBM Toolbox for Java. If you have not installed IBM Toolbox for Java on your client, you need to install it when you install the jar file that contains iSeries System Debugger.

To install iSeries System Debugger, complete the following steps:

  1. Install IBM Toolbox for Java, making sure to copy jt400.jar and tes.jar to your client. For more information about installing IBM Toolbox for Java, see the Install and manage IBM Toolbox for Java topic.
    Note: If you already installed IBM Toolbox for Java on your server, both the jt400.jar and the tes.jar files are in the same directory on the server:
         /QIBM/ProdData/HTTP/Public/jt400/lib/
  2. After copying the jar files to your client, add them to your client CLASSPATH environment variable.
Now you can use your client to run iSeries System Debugger.
