Environment

Release : 14.4

Component : Identity Manager

WAS 8.5.5.18

RHEL 7

Cause

This is due to pointing to the wrong JVM.

Resolution

Need to point to OpenJDK/Oracle JVM during installation but not IBM JVM.  This is due to IDM having other components ( such as connector server)  that use OpenJDK but not IBM JVM. Therefore, the installer is looking for it.  From IDM itself, it will use IBM JVM.
