Additional Information I attempted to manually change /usr/lib/systemd/system/SymmetricDS.service to add the full java path... i.e. change java to /usr/bin/java (validated /usr/bin/java -version worked properly)

After that was complete and system was rebooted, received different error:

sudo systemctl start SymmetricDS.service
Job for SymmetricDS.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status SymmetricDS.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
