Java Runtime Environment for Open Workbench
Starting with Release 13.3, CA Clarity PPM provides a specific Java Runtime Environment (JRE) for use by Open Workbench (OWB). The JRE is copied to the hard drive in the OWB installation directory on the end-user workstation. The JRE is used specifically for OWB and is independent of the JRE used for the Windows workstation.
OWB uses only the internal JRE version that is provided which we certify to be compatible. This approach eliminates issues that arise when the workstation Windows installation of the JRE is not the correct version or the JRE is missing. An IT department no longer has to update a JRE version when deploying OWB.
