About the Java Runtime Environment
OpsCenter software installer installs a customized version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) when you install the following:
OpsCenter Server
OpsCenter Agent
OpsCenter View Builder
The customized version of JRE does not include some directories that a standard JRE version includes. For example, man, plugin, and so on.
Until OpsCenter 8.0, the JRE package that was bundled along with the OpsCenter installer was updated only when you upgraded to a later OpsCenter release. You can use the nbcomponentupdate utility to update the JRE to a supported version for the following OpsCenter components: OpsCenter Server, OpsCenter Agent, and View Builder
If your system is running OpsCenter 8.0 or later, the nbcomponentupdate utility is available in the OpsCenter installer at the following locations:
Table:
OpsCenter Component | Operating System | Path |
|---|---|---|
OpsCenter Server | Windows | Install_path\server\bin\nbcomponentupdate.exe |
UNIX | SYMCOpsCenterServer/bin/nbcomponentupdate | |
OpsCenter Agent | Windows | Install path\agent\bin\nbcomponentupdate.exe |
OpsCenter View Builder | Windows | Install_path\viewbuilder\bin\nbcomponentupdate.exe |
Note:
If you update the JRE, and then later upgrade OpsCenter, the software upgrade overwrites the JRE update. Run the utility again to update the JRE. You can download and run the nbcomponentupdate.exe from the following location:

For more details on the nbcomponentupdate command and its parameters, refer to the NetBackup™ Commands Reference Guide.
Note:
The JRE version in the OpsCenter installer is the supported major version for that OpsCenter release. Use this utility to update to a minor version of the supported major JRE version. Veritas recommends that you update to another major JRE version only if the installed version is end-of-life. For example, if OpsCenter 8.0 installer has JRE 1.8.0.31, the supported major version is 1.8. You can use this utility to update to a minor version of JRE 1.8, for example, 1.8.0.92.
You may have additional versions of the JRE installed on your system for different applications. The OpsCenter JRE does not interfere with these other installations. The OpsCenter JRE does not provide integration with web browsers and does not allow Java Applets or Web Start to run. For that reason, the OpsCenter JRE cannot be used in a browser-based attack that uses Java Applet or Web Start vulnerabilities.
