Date:	29 January 2019
Product/Release:	LANSA Integrator - V13 SP2
Abstract:	Steps required to use OpenJDK with LANSA Integrator V13 SP2
Submitted By:	LANSA Technical Support

Background:

The instructions below to switch LANSA Integrator V13 SP2 from Java SE to OpenJDK are provided as an option, due to Oracle Java SE compliance and End of Public Updates for Oracle JDK 8, detailed here.

Steps to use OpenJDK with LANSA V13 SP2

If OpenJDK is not already installed, it can be downloaded here (note the Hotspot version is pre-selected).

Adopt Open JDK Screen

Install by unzipping into a folder path. This is referred to below as <installed Java path>.
The java folder name path will depend upon which OpenJDK Java version is being used.
64-bit Path is generally C:\jdk8u172-b11
32-bit Path is generally C:\jdk8u192-b12 (a 32-bit O/S requires the 32-bit version.)

The steps to switch to OpenJDK are the same whether you have an existing LANSA Integrator V13 SP2 installation or whether you are installing a new LANSA Integrator V13 SP2. You must modify the following Integrator shortcuts.

Note: to avoid issues in the �Start In� related to long path names and embedded spaces in the New Values below, LANSA recommends using the short path name. One way to establish the short path name for the shortcuts is to open the LANSALauncher.cfg file in the Tools folder and copy the WorkDir path into the �Start In�

Integrator Studio

Existing values will be like the following:

Target
�<installed LANSA Integrator path>\Tools\LANSALauncher.exe" /app=javaw.exe /id=Studio /lang=ENG

<installed LANSA Integrator path>\Tools

New values:
Target
"<installed Java path>\bin\javaw.exe" -Djava.ext.dirs=".\lib\ext" -Djava.endorsed.dirs=".\lib\endorsed" com.lansa.jsf.studio.JSFStudio

<installed LANSA Integrator path>\Integrator\Studio
