NOTE: THIS ISSUE SHOULD NOT BE CLOSED BY THE ORIGINATOR IF ACCESS IS GRANTED.
When the access is no longer needed please add a comment and a member
of the infrastructure team will revoke it and close the issue.

Required access level (Delete as appropriate). Note that you should only
request the minimum level that is required to solve your problem

• Non-privileged
• jenkins user
• root/Administrative
• other (Please specify):

I assume I will need "jenkins user" access, but maybe "Non-privileged" is enough. At the moment I will need access to the xlC compiler, some directory to write files, and the ability to read content in the /usr/include and /opt/IBM/xlC/<version>/include directories.

System for which access is needed:

I need access to an AIX 7.2 system, preferable with both xlC 13.1.3 and xlC 16.1.0 (or alternatively two AIX systems, one with each compiler version). According to their labels, one of the following systems should work: xlc13&&xlc16 (I don't know the difference between build and test ones). I'm basing this request on the system(s) used to run the jdk8u-aix-ppc64-temurin and jdk11u-aix-ppc64-temurin jobs.

Please explain why you need this access including whether it is a temporary or permanent request:

I'm requesting this access to further investigate the following issue:

• 8342822: jdk8u432-b06 does not compile on AIX openjdk/jdk8u-dev#600

You can find my SSH public key at https://github.com/franferrax.keys. The key was created for this purpose, I will throw it away once the access is revoked.

ssh access granted to a new userid [email protected] - you shouldn't need the jenkins user for this so I've given you your own one as it's easier and more secure to add/remove it. Both compilers are under /opt/IBM/xlc. I'm assuming you're familiar with AIX but if not you know where to find me and I can try and assist ;-)

Hi, thanks @sxa! I did some preliminar tests but would like to keep the access one or two more days if possible.

I might also ping you about the recommended way of building 8u / 11u in this environment.

Yeah keeping the access for a few days is no problem 👍
