Probe requires minium Java version of 7 but latest nimsoft java_jre is 2.21

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

I'm deploying probes that in the Release Notes require a minimum Java Version. 

For example, Java version 7. 

Example: 

What is the Java version referring to the Server's Java or the Nimsoft java_jre version? 

Environment

DX UIM 23.4.*

Cause

Guidance

Resolution

UIM java probes always use Nimsoft own JAVA, not the server's Java. 

See: Probes using the java_jre package

If you are running java_jre (uim package 2.*) it should already comply with the JAVA minimum requirements of "Java 7 or later".

The 2.* versioning is simply the DX UIM package Version but the version of Java deployed and used by the robot/probe is > 8.x. 

You can verify this in the nimsoft java folder: 

C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\jre

For example, here is 8.x.x.x
