Summary

This document will detail and explain the way to configure NPS(NNM iSPI Performance for Metrics) to use a different instance of JDK (version 1.8) that is present on the NPS system.

Reference

At installation/upgrade time, customer is asked to either provide their own JDK, or to use the JDK that is “bundled” with NPS.
 
After installation, customer can also configure NPS to use a different(non-default) instance of JDK (version 1.8) that is present on the NPS system. 
 
To make this modification:
1.Log on to the NPS system.
 
2.Go to the following directory:
  Windows: %ovinstalldir%\NNMPerformanceSPI\bin
  Linux: /opt/OV/NNMPerformanceSPI/bin
 
3.Run the following command:
  Windows: updatenpsjdk.ovpl <JDK_bin_path>
  Linux: ./updatenpsjdk.ovpl <JDK_bin_path>
  This script performs the “validation” as the installer. If validation succeeds, new JDK is accepted.
  
In this instance, <JDK_bin_path> is the complete path to the bin directory of the new JDK.
