Reporter Prerequisites

The Reporter is an Oracle Java program and requires the Oracle Java Runtime Environment (Oracle JRE) 17 (Oracle JDK 17) or later at a minimum to run. However, Oracle recommends that you use Oracle JDK 21 or later for optimal performance.

The JAVA_HOME environment variable must be set and should point to the installation directory on your system, which contains the **bin** and lib directories. For example:

$ export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/jdk-17.0.14-oracle-x64/

Note:

  • The Reporter component of DBSAT requires Oracle JDK 17 at minimum. However, Oracle recommends that you use Oracle JDK 21 or later for optimal performance. For IBM AIX and HP-UX Itanium platforms, the latest available Oracle JDK is version 11. For platforms without Oracle JDK 17 or later, copy the collected JSON to a host with Oracle JDK 17 or later and then run the Reporter. You should use the  -n option and explicitly use zip or other commands to encrypt the same.
  • Oracle customers of Oracle products that use the Oracle JDK or Oracle JRE are entitled, without the need to separately purchase Oracle Java SE Subscriptions, to download and use Oracle Java SE updates, patches, and tools for use with the licensed Oracle product. Customers are only entitled to download such Oracle Java SE versions as are required by their Oracle product. Please check the Oracle AI Database Licensing Information User Manual for more details.
