Download and update JRE

The SA Client launcher can updates the JRE version directly from the SA Core.

Note JRE will be downloaded on SA Client only when you connect to the slice component that contains the previous version of the JRE.

The following options are available for updating the JRE:

  • Making the JRE available on all slices in the environment and thus ensuring that all Client connections to the SA deployment are prompted to upgrade the JRE version.

  • Enforcing a connection to the slice that contains the updated JRE so that the latest JRE version can be downloaded from that slice and used in all SA Client connections to the SA deployment, irrespective of the target slice.

To update the JRE used by the SA Client application:

  1. From the HPE Customer Support, obtain the jre_name.zip package containing the distribution of OpenJRE on 32 bit.
  2. Copy the new jre_name.zip archive to the /opt/opsware/occclient location of SA Core.
  3. Delete the metadata.xml file within the /opt/opsware/occclient location.

When you launch the SA Client after performing the above steps, a warning window is displayed to choose whether to continue with the JRE upgrade or not. This warning window is displayed in the following conditions only:

  • JRE from the SA Core is newer than the JRE bundled with the launcher
  • JRE newer than a previously cached JRE.

For SA 10.51 and above, by default, SA Clients will use the latest JRE available in the cache or that is bundled with the launcher.
