Update Java Version in CA EEM

Products

• CA Service Operations Insight (SOI)

Issue/Introduction

We need to know what procedure to follow for upgrading Java version on CA EEM Servers,

because it was identified by our security team vulnerabilities in version 1.6.0_25 and 1.8.0_172, that is currently installed on these servers.

 

We also need to know if the JDK can be uninstalled on these servers without impacting the monitoring environment.

Environment

SOI 4.2

EEM 12.5

EEM 12.6

Cause

Resolution

You can remove or update the OS java as needed in your environment.

Do not update or modify this version of java.
