Note:
A recent version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) must be installed on the device the console is used on.
On Linux devices, to verify if Java is installed type java -version in your terminal window and then press the Enter key. The version number of the installed Java is displayed. BMC recommends that you use JRE version 7.0 or later with the console. This can be downloaded from the Oracle website . You can also use the often preinstalled OpenJDK java version; it is not necessary to use the Oracle JRE.
If no Java is installed on your device, click the link on the console page and install it.
A security certificate is required to allow the console to log on to the database. If you do not have one installed yet, you can use the BMC certificate provided on the console page. Click the link to install it.
To download and install the CM console , click the respective icon on the page.
This installs the console as Java Web Start with a link to the master. A desktop link for the console is created on the device and the device keeps the files required to launch the console in its cache memory. At every console launch a verification takes place to determine if later versions of these console files are available. If so, they are automatically updated.
