Java 7

This release uses Java 7. The following software client requires Java 7:

XML Open Gateway (XOG) client

CA Clarity PPM provides a specific Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for the following clients:

Open Workbench
Connector for Microsoft SharePoint

The JRE is copied to the hard drive in the installation directory on the end-user workstation. The JRE is used specifically for the clients and is independent of the JRE used for the Windows workstation.

Important! The Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is updated frequently with fixes for security issues, including issues that are unknown at the time CA Clarity PPM is released. To ensure that you have the latest fixes, we recommend that you download the most recent version 7 JDK from the Oracle website.

Upgrade Actions: Install Java 7 on workstations that have the software clients for which CA Clarity PPM does not provide the JRE.
