Configuring Java Settings

The Java Settings wizard enables you to define which Java instance is to be used by IBM DS6000, DS8000 Series KM for PATROL (only when using the version lower than 3.6.0.11 of PATROL agent).

You can either use the automatic detection, select a pre-detected java path or enter manually the path leading to the Java executable directory to be used.

The minimum version required is Java 1.5

To access the Java Settings wizard, right-click the main KM icon > KM commands > KM Settings > Java Settings.

Java Settings Wizard — Method Selection

Select the Java executable detection method: Select one of the three following options:

•Automatic: Select this option if you wish the KM to detect the Java executable directory by itself upon each discovery.

•User selection: Select this option if you wish to select a Java executable directory within a list of pre-detected executables.

•Manual: Select this option if you wish to manually enter the Java executable directory path.

Click Next to continue.
