Update Java version manually

Products

• VMware Smart Assurance

Issue/Introduction

This article addresses the following questions:

• Can we manually update our Smarts environment to the latest Java Version?
• Can we remove the current java version installed with Smarts to consolidate by upgrading Java to the latest version?

 

Environment

NCM - 10.x

MnR - 7.x

Smarts - 10.x

Resolution

Updating the Java version in the Smarts environment is not recommended as Smarts is designed to run on a particular Java Version.

Manually updating Java to the latest or desired Java version may lead to issues with Smarts application functionality.

Additional Information

All the Java and it's component used by the Smarts applications are installed within the application installation directory.

It does not use the installations outside of the Smarts applications installation path, such as from /usr/lib/jvm directory.
