9.0.00.A Fix Pack

Fix Packs do not contain all of the files that are required for a complete product installation. Fix Packs are cumulative and contain all updates released prior to the Fix Pack.

Before you install the Fix Pack, you must have previously installed the 9.0.00 GA version of the product. See Installing.

Oracle has announced Java 8 will go out of public support in January 2019 (see the Oracle Java Roadmap), and, subsequently, will no longer publish security updates.

As a result, this MVMA Fix Pack migrates installations on Windows and Linux to include 64-bit OpenJDK 11 based JREs. This will ensure that regular security updates are available to MVMA customers.


Tip

For information about issues corrected in this Fix Pack, see Known-and-corrected-issues.

Installing the Fix Pack A for MVMA 9.0.00 consists of the following steps, according to your operating environment.
