Specify the JAVA_HOME Environment Variable

Before you install the BusinessObjects Universe for CA Data Protection, the JAVA_HOME environment variable must be in scope and set to the correct JRE path:

• JAVA_HOME is in scope if it already exists as a system variable or a user variable for the current user.
• JAVA_HOME must specify the top level folder of JRE installation.

  For default CA Business Intelligence installations on 32-bit Windows Servers, the JRE path is:

  C:\Program Files\CA\SC\CommonReporting3\jre 
  

  For default CA Business Intelligence installations on 64-bit Windows Servers, the JRE path is:

  C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\CommonReporting3\jre 
  

To Test If JAVA_HOME is Specified

Run the following command to test whether JAVA_HOME exists and is in scope:

SET JAVA_HOME

If JAVA_HOME already exists, this command displays the path that JAVA_HOME is set to. If JAVA_HOME does not exist, this command returns a 'Not Defined' message.

To Add JAVA_HOME

If JAVA_HOME does not already exist as a system variable or a user variable, do one of the following:

• Add JAVA_HOME in the Environment variables dialog:
  1. From the Control Panel, click System.
  2. Click the Advanced tab.
  3. Click the Environment Variables button.
• Create and set JAVA_HOME from a command prompt directly before installing the universe.
