After installing via alternatives the latest IBM JDK on redhat 8.10 (Ootpa) x86 and when trying to update the Java Version for Db2 with db2 UPDATE DBM CFG USING jdk_path SDK for Java-path to
(...) (JDK_PATH) = /dbhome//sqllib/java/jdk64
following error appears:
MESSAGE : ADM0508E  The database manager was unable to load the Java
          interpreter library "/usr/lib/jvm/jre/lib/amd64/j9vm".  This error
          commonly occurs because of restrictions imposed by the operating
          system.  Consult the IBM documentation for a solution.  If this
          problem persists, contact IBM support.
**Db2 version:** DB2 v11.5.9.0, special_52441 "DYN2501101324AMD64_52441" **Java version** "21.0.6" 2025-01-21 LTS IBM Semeru Runtime Certified Edition 21.0.6.0 (build 21.0.6+7-LTS) Eclipse OpenJ9 VM 21.0.6.0 (build openj9-0.49.0, JRE 21 Linux amd64-64-Bit Compressed References 20250121_373 (JIT enabled, AOT enabled) **Question 1:** Where is the path in the error message configured, as it turns out to be not the one being defined as JDK_PATH. **Question 2:** Is it actually possible to update the referred Db2 version to the latest JDK/JRE release and has it to be specifically an IBM JDK/J9vm? **Question 3:** Is there any good article or documentation how to update/handle/work with Java UDFs in Db2? *Correlates to: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69019194/how-to-upgrade-java-to-at-least-8-0-6-25-in-ibm-db2-v11-1*
