Environment

Component : UNIFIED INFRASTRUCTURE MGMT

Resolution

Just deploy the java_jre probe version 2.0.4 or later to have a newer java version and check this steps:

The package is now version 2.0.4 and Java JRE is updated to OpenJDK Java Runtime Environment 1.8.0

Follow these steps to update the java runtime environment in UIM:

Download and import the latest Java_JRE probe java_jre-2.0.4.zip from the Support Archive.

Drag and drop the imported package on the robot to change the java runtime environment.

Verify that the update is complete by checking the following values are updated to jre8u252b9 in the robot.cfg file:

                 NIM_JRE_HOME = jre/jre8u252b09

                 NIM_JRE_HOME_1_8 = jre/jre8u252b09

Restart the robot. Restarting the robot ensures that all the java probes deployed on this robot will use latest jre version.

Manually delete the old java_jre folder (for example: jre8u212b04) located in the directory <UIM_Installation>\Nimsoft\jre in all the robots.
