To use an external JRE with an On-Premises Connector, the JRE's Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy must be enabled. No other modifications to the JRE are required to use it with an On-Premises Connector. Depending on the vendor and version of the JRE, the Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy may be enabled by default.

Once the Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy has been enabled, you can configure the On-Premises Connector to use the external JRE when installing or upgrading the connector. During installation or upgrade, you will be prompted to specify whether you are using the embedded JRE or an external JRE. If you select external JRE, you must specify the path to the external JRE. For complete installation instructions, refer to the Progress DataDirect Hybrid Data Pipeline Installation Guide.
