Configuring Java On Windows or UNIX

TIBCO MFT Command Center supports Java 17 and above. We recommend that you install the newest version of the Java JDK. IBM Semeru Java, OpenJDK, Amazon Corretto, and Oracle Java are supported. GNU Java is not supported.

TIBCO MFT Command Center installation and configuration requires the bin directory of the JDK to be in your PATH environment variable. Instructions on how to do this are as follows.

Note:

  • If you want to run the application server as a Windows service, you must set the JAVA_HOME environment variable for your system. For more information, see Appendix C. Starting on Startup Automatically.

  • The Java version used to execute TIBCO MFT Command Center must be at the installation version or higher. Likewise, after executing TIBCO MFT Command Center do not downgrade Java to a prior version.

Before you beginYou must install a Java Software Development Kit (JDK) before you install MFTIS.
    Procedure
  1. Set the JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to the Java\jdk directory.

    For example,

    On Windows:

    set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21

    On UNIX:

    export JAVA_HOME=/opt/java/jdk-21

  2. Set the PATH variable to point to the Java\bin directory:

    For example,

    On Windows:

    set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin:%PATH%

    or

    set PATH=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-21\bin;%PATH%

    On UNIX:

    export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

    or

    export PATH=/opt/java/jdk-21/bin:$PATH

  3. Verify that the path is correctly set by using the following command:

    Windows and UNIX: java –version
