The following table lists the components to install before you install the mid tier:

on the BMC Support website. |
| BMC Remedy AR System server | The AR System server can be installed locally, but the mid tier is typically installed on a separate computer with network access to the server. |
| (Optional) Reporting tool | If you are running Crystal Reports on the web, install one of the following tools:
|
| (Optional) Home Page server | The home page form displays entry points on a given server or server group. The home-page server must be a AR System server and can be configured as a home-page server. |

Maybe this page should be updated to include specific information about OpenJDK versus an Oracle Java SDK because of this statement of direction....https://docs.bmc.com/docs/brid1902/statement-of-direction-support-for-java-11-851080775.html
