Managing the Server as a Service
You must provide the directory server with information about the location of the Java installation that should be used by setting the OPENDS_JAVA_HOME environment variable. A potential problem could arise if the OPENDS_JAVA_HOME environment variable is not set, or does not point to the root of a valid (at least Java 5.0, JRE 1.5.0_08) installation. Alternatively, using the OPENDS_JAVA_BIN variable to point to the absolute path of the Java executable may be helpful if you want to use a 64-bit JVM rather than the default 32-bit version (for example, $JAVA/bin/sparcv9/java or $JAVA/bin/amd64/java.
The directory server's administrative scripts uses the OPENDS_JAVA_HOME environment variable. If the variable is not set, an error can occur.
