Set an environment variable for the Java location

You must install a JRE 17 implementation on the servers where you will install the BlackBerry Protect Connectivity Node, and the environment variable must point to the Java home location.

When you begin the installation, the BlackBerry Protect Connectivity Node verifies that it can find Java. If it can't find Java, the setup application will stop on the requirements panel and you must set an environment variable for the Java location and ensure that the Java bin folder is included in the Path system variable. Note that you must close down the installer at this time and restart it only after the environment variable has been created or updated.

Verify that you have installed JRE 17 on the server where you will be installing the BlackBerry Protect Connectivity Node.
  1. Open the Windows Advanced system settings dialog box.
  2. Click Environment Variables.
  3. Under the System variables list, click New.
  4. In the Variable name field, type BB_JAVA_HOME.
  5. In the Variable value field, type the path to the JRE folder and click OK.
  6. In the System variables list, select Path and click Edit.
  7. If the Path doesn't include the Java bin folder, click New and add %BB_JAVA_HOME%\bin to the Path.
  8. Move the %BB_JAVA_HOME%\bin entry high enough in the list that it won't be superseded by another entry and click OK.
