Changing JVM used by Oracle BPM Enterprise

You may change the Java runtime environment used by Oracle BPM Enterprise after installation.

See Supported Operating Systems and JVMs for a list of supported Java Virtual Machines on each environment.

To change the Java runtime used by Oracle BPM Enterprise:

Modify all *.lax configuration files located at <ORABPM_HOME>/bin.
You must change the lines containing property lax.nl.current.vm to specify the new path to your desired Java VM executable. Example:
```
...
lax.nl.current.vm=/usr/jdk1.6/bin/java
...
```
Tip: On Unix systems, you can automate this change with the following sed command. On the following example, change $ORABPM_HOME with the full path to your Oracle BPM installation and /usr/jdk1.6/bin/java with the full path to your Java command:
```
cd $ORABPM_HOME/bin
sed -i 's#current\.vm=.*$#current\.vm=/usr/jdk1.6/bin/java#g' *.lax
```
Modify the sdk.properties configuration file located at <ORABPM_HOME>/bin.
You must change the line containing property sdk.home to specify the new path to your desired Java VM installation directory. Example:
```
...
sdk.home=/usr/jdk1.6
...
```
Tip: On Unix systems, you can automate this change with the following sed command. On the following example, change $ORABPM_HOME with the full path to your Oracle BPM installation and /usr/jdk1.6 with the full path to your Java installation directory:
```
cd $ORABPM_HOME/bin
sed -i 's#sdk\.home=.*$#sdk\.home=/usr/jdk1.6#g' sdk.properties
```
