JDK Software

All Red Hat operating systems previously identified in this table

The following:

• Java SE Development Kit (JDK) 8u101 (1.8.0 Update 101) or later update (available from Oracle)

• OpenJDK 8 (Adopt OpenJDK 8 or any other OpenJDK 8 distribution which is TCK compliance) Update 242 or later update

We recommend the following for JDK 8:

• Use 64-bit JVM

  If you use JDK 8 for PPM Server platforms, the server configuration parameter SERVER_MAX_PERM_SIZE stops working, and perm size would be included in heap size which is controlled by the parameter SERVER_MAX_HEAP_SIZE.

• Update the RSA keys size to be greater than 1024 bits if you use X.509 certificates with RSA keys.

Communications Software

One of the following:

• Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) (default)
• Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6)

To enable support for IPv6, add the ENABLE_IPV6 parameter to the server.conf file and set it to true. For more information, see the Installation and Administration Guide.
