pcns 4.3 installation failed

[Phil34_apc]

Hi,

I try to install pcns 4.3 on a new machine with centOS 7.6.1810.

Until now, all the installations with pcns 4.2 were a success on centOS7, but the installation with pcns 4.3 fails.

It will use the wrong JVM. You will need java11, but java8 was called.

Simple set the java home to java11 home.

For that reason I have build me an RPM package. It makes also the mass configuration via puppet much easier.

Thank you Franck.

Il will try tomorrow with the java 11 provided in the tar.gz

I have reinstalled pcns 4.3 vith the private jre 11 and the installation is done correctly.

I appreciate pcns now works with systemd, and I would like to suggest to the developpers adding a warning when pcns detecs the java version 1.8. Currently, it says "Acceptable version".

Hi. 

I looking for PCNS 4.3 for my server but APC/SE remove possibility to download this software. If you still have this software can you share with me (maybe by wetransfer or other service)? I specailly looking for linux, windows and VMware version. I will be very happy that users provide better support than manufacturer.
