Did you then run the DB Connect configure/setup and put the path in the App?

Hello Praveen,
This is a common problem. You need to do as below.

Goto->
cmd>set JAVA_HOME = C:\Progra~1\Java\Jre7`
>echo %JAVA_HOME% ...`

Let me know if you still have problem after this.

During the setup it asks for JAVA HOME path :). Java Bridge will not if doesn't have the right path and config arguments.

[dmaislin_splunk]

You don't need to worry about JAVA_HOME being set on the command prompt. After you ran setup on the database app, what did it say about the java bridge status? The app itself has a search menu that also will display all of the error logs. If the java bridge is running, then you are already setup and ready to go.

did you try leaving the path blank within the splunk setup?

Please exactly what i have written there.

"Program~1" exactly and try

I also tried this through command prompt

c:>set JAVA_HOME = c:programfiles\java\jre7
c:>echo %JAVA_HOME%
c:\programfiles\java\jre7

and on splunk
Java Home
c:\programfiles\java\jre7

but still not accepting the path

yes i have install jre7 and the java home is
"C:/Program Files/Java/jre7"

Dd you install the JRE or JDK on the same server?
