Managing Java packages on an agent
You can upload, install, and manage Java packages on compact agent using the web UI.
Before you begin
Important:
- The agents support Java 11 and later versions.
- The procedure in this section is applicable only for the operating systems that have compact agents. Agents on operating systems like z/OS and AIX cannot be updated with this procedure.
About this task
You must upgrade Java when you have unsupported Java versions on your agents.
HCL Launch identifies which agents must have an updated Java version or patches applied, and detemines that status by using the real-time status of the connected agents. Java packages can be uploaded and then applied on different devices and architectures in your environment.
To manage the Java package on an agent:
Procedure
-
Upload the required Java package.
-
Install the uploaded Java package on an agent.
-
Go to the Agents page and set JAVA_HOME on the agent by
selecting the Set Java Home menu option.
This location must be an absolute path, which is accessible to the agent.
The agent restarts and runs with your new Java version. - See all Java versions installed for that agent from the agent's Metadata page.
- Remove unsupported Java package versions from the Uninstall Java Package menu option.
