SapMachine is an OpenJDK released maintained and supported by SAP.
You can replace the in-build JAVA Support from the SAP HANA Studio with SapMachine.
You can use this to replace any existing JAVA (owned by Oracle) deliveries on you local Frontend or Terminal Server. Download the 64-Bit binaries either as
- zip archive (allows you own location)
- installation packages
Make sure that you adapt the Environment of your Frontend for SapMachine as well, like
- JAVA_HOME
- SAP_JRE8_64
- JavaFX
- Path
Edit the File C:\Program Files\SAP\hdbstudio\
hdbstudio.ini
And replace the
-vm parameter with the SapMachine
