- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) requirement
-
- For the DevOps Code ClearCase® installation,
you must have a 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) specifically for Java 11
installed before you install ClearCase®. During the installation of
ClearCase®, you must set the path
to the java executable in your JRE installation if you plan to use any of the
Java-based components for the product. See the list of Java-based components on the
installation panel. ClearCase® does
not ship with its own JRE, but instead uses a JRE that is already installed on your
system. If you do not have a JRE already, you can obtain one from Adoptium at https://adoptium.net.Tip: For the initial installation of a JRE, install it in a folder of your choice with a folder name that does not identify the version number for the Java. As an example, use a folder name like "jre" instead of "jdk-11.0.12+7-jre". Later, when you want to install a new updated Java (as an example, jdk-11.0.19+7-jre), install the updated Java into the same file system location as the initial Java. Then no reconfiguration of ClearCase® is needed because of the new JRE. For more information, see Reconfiguring ClearCase to use a different JRE.Important: For DevOps Code ClearCase® on Windows, you must unpack the JRE locally. Running the JRE from a network location is not supported. During the installation process for DevOps Code ClearCase®, you must enter the path to your JRE.
