Can anyone help me on this problem.? I've a simple small webservice up and running. I've got the WSDL definitions in the WS Client and I'm trying to pass it 1 row of 4 columns of information. But I get this error. I'v found many posts on this error but none that fix my problem.

PavlovCreateTask..Web_Services_Client_0: TJClient::initialize: unable to create Java Virtual Machine; classpath = C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine\java/lib/wsclient.jar
C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine\java/lib/axis.jar
C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine\java/lib/commons-discovery.jar
C:\IBM\InformationServer\Server\DSEngine\java/lib/commons-logging.jar

It's an install/configuration problem with 8.x.... I'm not handy right now to my machine to give you the environment variables, but do some searching on the forum here for DATASTAGE_JRE and DATASTAGE_JVM, and/or look for issues surrounding JavaPack, which in some cases in 8.x exhibits the same symptoms.

Since you are in Windows platform, just add C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBNode\apps\jre\bin to your PATH environment variable. Then, it should solve "unable to create JVM" problem.

Still No solution.

I've tried all variations of the classpath and the path environment variables. Do i have to restart after each change? I don't think so, just checking. I've this and it just takes a very long time to test and it feels as if I'm grasping at straws.

Is anyone else battling with this? Or is this just my installation?

YEEEAASS!!! It works.

Okay here are my findings for all windows users.

1) You need to create 2 new System Environment Variables.
1. Name: DATASTAGE_JRE
Value: C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBNode\apps
2. Name: DATASTAGE_JVM
Value: \jre\bin\j9vm
2) Restart your Server. (Very important, bugged me for hours.)

And voila.. it works.
The Datastage JVM using a combination of the 2 paths to find the path of the JVM. i.e. DATASTAGE_JRE+DATASTAGE_JVM which concatenates as "C:\IBM\InformationServer\ASBNode\apps\jre\bin\j9vm", for clarity purposes.

Note: Make sure that these directories actually exist as well. There are a lot of different paths in this forum about this issue. So work out your configuration first.
