    The only reason I knew this is that we just did a SAP/BW upgrade and ran
    across the same issue. I stuffed the fix into the back of my brain 'cause
    it seemed like a good thing to remember.

    Hi Bill,

    Wanted to thank you for your response. I don't have the Instructions, the
    SAP admin has them in Richmond VA, and I am here in Maine. When you sent
    the reply I got an idea. I had mentioned using "java" instead of "jre"
    but he was not going to deviate from the instructions. I created a link in
    /usr/bin and linked "jre" to /usr/java131/bin/java and had him try it.
    He wrote back saying "he did not know what I did but I fixed it".

    I have been dealing with this issue off and on for a couple of days.

    Thanks again Bill, I truly appreciate it.

    John

    Look on the next page of the SAP doc. There is a note that says
    "Substitute 'Java' for jre on some systems"

    Hi All,

    Sort of off topic I think. I have an application "SAP" that requires Java
    1.3.1 for the installation GUI. However, the instructions say to run the
    following command.

    " jre -cp /usr/sap/put/ua/ua.jar UaServer " The user environment has the
    "JAVA_HOME" variable set to "/usr/java131" The command fails as "jre"
    can't be found. I have searched all filesystems for a "jre" executable. I
    have found the "jre" directory. I look at the old SAP system that has
    "1.1.8" loaded on it and it does have a "jre" executable. I have not had
    allot of experience with Java, so I was writing to see if anyone has had
    problems when going to "Java 1.3.1" from an older version. I have asked
    the SAP admin to check with SAP to see if this is an error in the
    documentation.

    Thanks In Advance.
    John
