Paragraph 1 is about the admin tool ... A JRE is needed on the machine running the Admin tool if you want to create a Web Service or create a filter that consumes a web service. The part of the Admin tool that works with web services requires the JRE. Paragraph 2 is about the server ... A JRE is needed by the server so filters can consume web services. Other server components like the Email Engine and Flashboards also require one to operate. Fred ________________________________

From the Integrating manual (pg 82): ---------- Chapter 6 - Web Services Java runtime environment considerations AR System web services require that the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) on the system running BMC Remedy Administrator. If you install the JRE before you install or upgrade the AR System server, the AR System server installer will automatically update your ar.cfg file and set your PATH. If you install JRE after installing the AR System server, either reinstall the server, or add the following lines to your ar.cfg file (default location: C:\Program Files\AR System\): ---------- The 1st paragraph says the Admin tool needs it. Then the 2nd paragraph starts referring to the Server, and of course only gives direction for a Windows server - no mention of Unix. It makes sense that server needs it to consume web services, but I don't see where the manual states that. Anyway, the Email engine requirement is enough for me to proceed.

I am setting up a new AIX server for a fresh install of ARS 7.0. Is there a requirement to have a JRE installed on the ARS Server? What functionality depends on it? Eventually I will have a mid-tier on a different box and ITSM will be installed on this server, but for now my question is just about a basic ARS - is there a JRE requirement? Everything I've found in the manuals so far says the Admin tool needs it or the mid tier needs it, but nothing that says the ARS server needs it. If someone can point me to the right manual/page, that'd be great too.
