Overview

By default, DPA ships with and uses a version of OpenJDK. However, you can choose to use a different supported Java installation. (See the system requirements for your DPA version for the currently supported Java version.) 

This article provides instructions for using a different Java installation when DPA is installed on a Linux server. If DPA is installed on a Windows server, see Specify the Java installation that DPA uses (Windows).

Resolution

  1. Determine the location of the Java file that you want DPA to use.

  2. Open the following file or, if the file does not exist, create it:

    /iwc/tomcat/ignite_config/java_loc.txt 

  3. The file should contain one line with the full path and file name of the Java file. Add this line or update the existing line. For example:

    /home/java/jdk160_03/bin/java

  4. Save the file.

  5. Restart DPA by running these commands:

    \shutdown.sh
    \startup.sh
