Dear Experts,

launch java from current PATH

   INFO: Loading tool launcher...

the path of the config tool.bat is :  Z:\usr\sap\BJP\J02\j2ee\configtool

Hi Ahmed,

I guess the first thing you can try is eliminate the Warning message about JAVA_HOME

If you are working on your PC, JAVA_HOME variable and Java PATH need to be set their too.

Hi Ahmed,

First you need to determine the path for your Java Development Kit (JDK) on you PC.

Set JAVA_HOME using command prompt, for that open DOS command prompt:

- Type the following in the command prompt i.e c:\

- c:\set JAVA_HOME= <path_to_java_sdk_home>

     Example c:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_06

- Press enter - Now JAVA_HOME is set.

To check if JAVA_HOME is set call C:\set and check for JAVA_HOME entry

or run c:\ echo %JAVA_HOME%

Hi Ahmed,

since you are trying to run the configtool from a Windows mapped driver, you can't expect to use the JVM for the SAP Server since that would be a IBM i JVM. The configtool is currently using the defautl JVM set for your machine which is not compatible.

You need to download and install Java 6 version either from SAP or Oracle for Windows  and set your JAVA_HOME environment. Alternatively you can try using SSH or any other xWindow capable tool to connect to the IBM i and then you can run the configtool.sh out of the box.
