Upgrading Tomcat/Java with Clarity

Products

• Clarity PPM On Premise

Issue/Introduction

You would like to upgrade Tomcat or Java (JDK) for your Clarity install or Jaspersoft 

Environment

Release : Any

Resolution

• It is possible to upgrade Tomcat or Java for Clarity as long as they are newer than the version that was included for that Clarity release and that they are the same major version.
• For example, if your Clarity release included Tomcat 9.0.65, you can upgrade to any 9.0.x (e.g. 9.0.68). However, you can't upgrade to 10.0.x (e.g.: 10.0.27).
• The same applies to Java, for example, you can upgrade from 11.0.16+8 to a higher patch level (11.0.x, like 11.0.17+8), but you can't upgrade to 17.0.5+8.
• Only the versions included in Clarity / Jaspersoft have been certified
• In summary, if the Release Notes Compatibility documentation indicates: or higher patch level :
  • It is supported to go to higher patch level
  • We have not tested and certified this higher patch level
  • If you encounter an issue you may have to roll back to lower version

Additional Information

Other than the versions provided with the DVDs, Broadcom Support does not provide Tomcat or OpenJDK for download, any newer versions can be downloaded online directly from their websites.
