Updating to the Latest Java Patch Level

  • Each release of Oracle Enterprise Performance Management System installs the Java 8 JDK, which incorporates the highest available patch level at the time of release. Between releases, you might be required to patch the JDK.

  • After installing and configuring EPM System, follow these steps to update your existing version of the JDK to a more recent version. Perform these steps on all Middleware Home directories for the EPM System deployment and on all EPM Oracle instances across all hosts.

  • The source JDK refers to the JDK an existing installation is configured to use. The target JDK version is the version that the installation is being updated to use.

  • Check with Oracle Support for download locations for newer Java 8 distributions.

Updating Java for EPM System (Windows and Linux)

JDK8 and JRE8 are installed to a directory where the directory name does not include the complete version of Java.

For example,

JDK: Oracle\Middleware\jdk

Optional: To update Java:

  1. Stop all EPM System services.
  2. Perform these actions on MIDDLEWARE_HOME:
    1. Rename the current JDK folder to Oracle\Middleware\jdk.save.
    2. Install the target JDK into Oracle\Middleware\jdk.
  3. Start all EPM System services.

If you’re using the default Java keystore to store public/private certificates, make sure to copy it from the old JRE location to the new location after completing the patching:

Oracle\Middleware\jdk\jre\lib\security\cacerts
