and its HOME directory, should be set on a proper location. I.e

.

Security rights

The user defined should also have the following security rights:

•Log on as service
•Create global objects (only if Oracle is required)

Environment variables

Some environment variables must be correctly defined and configured to ensure the correct XFRAME functionality:

Environment name

Description

it refers to the current XFRAME setup. It is set a system wide variable by the XFRAME setup procedure but, if you installed different XFRAME versions on the same system and you want to use the non-default one, you have to override this variable.

JAVA_HOME

it paths to the JDK environment to be used. I.e. "C:\Program Files\Java\Jdk1.6.0".
