If the required version of JRE is already installed, this installation step can be omitted.

java -version

If several JRE or Java SDK Versions are installed on the computer, make sure that the order of the directories in the settings of %PATH% or $PATH is correct. The Java Runtime Environment that is found first in the listShows entities in a grid view of directories is used.

4.. Starting the UserInterface

Ensure that there is sufficient memory for the Java applicationAn application is a software which helps a user to fulfill specific tasks. In the context of ARA see also: Application entity. UCDJ.JAR . Otherwise, the UserInterface might come to a standstill of the UserInterface. Automic recommends increasing the value of the Java start parameter -Xmx in the file UCDJ.INI (for calls via UCDJ.EXE) or UCDJ.BAT to 1024MB.
