I am installing middleware on both Windows and Linux servers for a PT 8.52 to PT 8.53 upgrade. The first piece of middleware that needs to be installed is JDK 7 64-bit. In the JDK installation instructions, it only gives one option for installing on RPM-based Linux. (We have Oracle Linux 5.) The command is:
rpm -ivh jdk-7u9-linux-x64.rpm
This installs JDK into the /usr directory if I am logged in as root which is stated in the instructions. Do I really want it to install at this location for PeopleSoft servers? In previous PT releases, I installed the JDK into another directory where the PS_HOME will also be installed. The JDK instructions also states that it can be installed into another location, but gives no way to do this. I looked up the rpm command for Linux and there doesn't seem to be any way to do this.
