Download the Java Runtime Environment

TMS requires the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 (1.8.0.391 or above).

If you have older versions of JRE and do not need them, uninstall these versions before installing the new version. By uninstalling old versions, you avoid receiving the following message when starting an Oracle Health Sciences application:

The Application requires an earlier version of JRE. Do you want to continue?

To download and install the JRE onto a client:

  1. Open a browser and enter the URL to open the Launch page for TMS. For example:

    https://server.domain:port/opa54/launch.htm

  2. Click Install JRE Plug-in on the Launch page.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the JRE.

    During the installation, you must accept all prompts to accept signed jar files.

    The system downloads the JRE from your Forms Server. When you set up the Forms Server, you installed the latest version of the JRE. See Making the Java Runtime Environment Available for Download for more information.
