SAS 9.2 Support for Java Development Kits
This page describes the minimum version requirements of Java Development Kits (JDK) for use with SAS 9.2. It is possible to use updated versions of the third party software listed below. See SAS Third Party Software Requirements - Baseline and Higher Support for more details. [see note at bottom]
Java Software Development Kits
The following table identifies Java Software Development Kit (JDK) requirements for supported Web application servers and z/OS. Web application servers and servlet engines require the use of a full JDK.
On 64-bit operating systems, a 64-bit JDK is required unless the JDK vendor or application server vendor does not support a 64-bit JDK. Currently those exceptions include:
- BEA WebLogic 9.2 on HP/UX on Itanium (HP-UX 11.23, 11.31)
- BEA WebLogic 9.2 on Solaris 10 x64 (x86-64)
- IBM WebSphere 6.1 on Solaris 9 on SPARC
It is not necessary to download a JDK for IBM WebSphere Application Server. IBM WebSphere Application Server comes embedded with a specific version of the IBM JDK that is automatically installed and used by WebSphere.
For z/OS, there is no separate Java Runtime Environment, and therefore a JDK must be used with the SAS® Foundation. For SAS® Java clients and other platforms supported by the SAS Foundation, use the JRE recommendations.

| AIX | Java 5 SR5a 64-bit, 5.0.0.130 fileset | IBM | A 64-bit SDK is required. This version is also referenced as "build pap64devifx-20070725". This version is also referenced as "build pap64devifx-20070725". This IBM SDK can be used with WebLogic 9.2 MP2 or JBoss 4.2 [see note at bottom] |
| Java 5 SR6b + IZ08455 64-bit, 5.0.0.163 fileset | Download Instructions | This IBM SDK can be used with WebLogic 9.2 MP3 or WebLogic 10.0. It can be obtained by following the download instructions referenced in the link column. The 64-bit SDK is required. [see note at bottom] | |
| HP-UX Itanium | 5.0.11 32-bit | HP | A 32-bit JDK is required for SAS® 9.2 deployments on WebLogic Server. |
| 5.0.11 64-bit | HP | A 64-bit JDK is required for SAS® 9.2 deployments on JBoss Application Server. | |
| Linux 64-bit x86-64 |
Java 5 Update 14 64-bit |
Oracle | A 64-bit JDK is required for SAS® 9.2 deployments on JBoss Application Server. |
| z/OS | Java 5 31-bit SDK | IBM | The 31-bit SDK is required. Install SDK for z/OS, V1.5. |
NOTE: Oracle requires specific versions of the JDK for WebLogic when configured on AIX. For this reason, the baseline and higher support policy does not apply to JDK used with WebLogic on AIX. You must download one of the required versions of the JDK.
