Setting the JAVA_HOME environment variable

Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the directory where the Java™ runtime environment is installed on your administrative computer.

You can create a key database for storing SSL certificates by using the Global Security Kit (GSKit) iKeyMan utility. To use the iKeyMan utility, set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the directory where the Java runtime environment (JRE) is installed on your administrative computer. You must use the JRE that Rational® ClearQuest® provides. By default, the Rational ClearQuest installation places the JRE in this directory: RATIONAL_COMMON\JAVA5.0\jre

Note: Use the JREs produced by AdoptOpenKDK at https://adoptopenjdk.net.
The following variable is used in path names in this topic:
