Java8 to Java11 update

Sorry for this novice question.

After updating TeamCity I received this warning message:

This TeamCity server is using a deprecated version of Java (8). Please upgrade to Java 11 as future versions of TeamCity will be incompatible with Java 8.
Note: at the moment TeamCity does not support Java versions > 11.

So I went and downloaded the OpenJDK11 64bits binaries for Windows, extracted them, and created environment variables (JAVA_HOME pointing to it, and added the Bin directory in the PATH).

I then restarted the TeamCity service, but the warning message is still showing up.

Anything else should be done?

Hello,
You also need to set the TEAMCITY_JRE, as explained here:
After doing it and restarting TeamCity (you might also want to restart the TeamCity's server to make sure the changes in the system variables are applied), I would recommend you to check the properties under Administration ->  Diagnostics -> Internal Properties and expand to see all properties, to check if your changes are effective or if you need to fix them.
 
Thanks

Thanks Guiherme,

This documentation page was exactly what I was looking for. I ended up dumping the OpenJDK files in the TeamCity\jre directory and it works!
