Support for Java

This topic describes BMC’s support for Java starting from January 1, 2019 and actions required for TrueSight Network Automation (formerly known as BMC Network Automation).

Overview

Recent announcements by Oracle about commercializing Java have resulted in questions about how BMC will handle Java in the TrueSight products.

Impact

Product versions releasing after January 1, 2019

  • The TrueSight Network Automation components (Application Server & Remote Device Agent) that use a bundled Java environment will be shipped with Open JDK 11. 

    Warning

    Note

    The supported type and version of JDK may change in the future releases.

  • For information on Java environments for integrated BMC products, refer to the documentation for those products.

Product versions released prior to January 1, 2019

  • BMC recommends that you upgrade to the most recent product version to get all the available fixes and security updates.
  • Users can continue to use the product with the existing Java environment. If a security update is needed, BMC will provide instructions on how to replace the existing Java environment with an updated and supported type.
