Customer Notices for Upgrades

Starting with the 6.10 release, Datical DB will run in the OpenJDK runtime instead of the Oracle Java runtime. If you are installing release 6.10 or greater of Datical DB from scratch in it's own folder, the installer will provide the new OpenJDK runtime. There are no additional steps for you to take.  This is the recommended course of action.

If you are updating an older version of Datical DB (6.9 or earlier) using the Datical software update site or the composite repo, you will need to replace the old Oracle Java runtime with the OpenJDK runtime.  For instructions expand the link below.

 OpenJDK Update - Manual Instructions

Datical DB now runs on OpenJDK

Starting with the 6.10 release, Datical DB will bundle OpenJDK instead of the Oracle Java Runtime.  The decision to migrate was prompted by a change in Oracle's licensing that would have impeded our ability to provide security patches to the Java distribution in our frequent releases.

NOTE: Datical will only install the new Java distribution as part of a fresh install of the product.  If you prefer to update an existing installation using Datical's update site or the composite repo follow the steps below to manually replace the Oracle Java Runtime with OpenJDK:

  1. Log in to software.datical.com and go to COMMON/Java_JDK/OpenJDK
  2. Download the archive for your client platform
    1. Linux: OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_linux_hotspot_8u222b10.tar.gz
    2. Windows: OpenJDK8U-jre_x64_windows_hotspot_8u222b10.zip
  3. Close Datical DB if it's open, including Windows command line and Linux terminal sessions
  4. Rename the root folder of the current JRE in the Datical installation
    1. BEFORE: <DDB_INSTALL_ROOT>/jre
    2. AFTER:    <DDB_INSTALL_ROOT>/oracle.jre
  5. Extract the JRE archive downloaded in step 2 to the Datical DB Install root
    1. Extracting the archive should create a new directory that will need to be renamed 
      1. Extracted directory name: <DDB_INSTALL_ROOT>/jdk8u222-b10-jre
      2. Rename directory to: <DDB_INSTALL_ROOT>/jre
  6. Test the Datical DB GUI by launching the client to ensure it opens without issue
  7. Test Datcial DB CLI by running 'hammer show version' from a terminal or or the Windows command line
  8. At this point you may delete <DDB_INSTALL_ROOT>/oracle.jre at your leisure


If you are upgrading from version 5.12 or earlier, see Customer Notices for Upgrades from 5.12 or Earlier for important information before you install or upgrade. 

Installation for the Datical DB GUI client requires special attention.

Recent Additions to the Datical DB Product Line

Deployment Monitoring Console (DMC) 

With the 7.0 release Datical included a new, lightweight web-based Deployment Monitoring Console (DMC) that provides status and reporting information for all of your Datical projects through a browser.  The new DMC is a simpler replacement for Datical Service that is much easier to install, manage and use.
