Upgrade Java used by Crystal Reports

[former_member761011]

Our Crystal Configuration is shown above.

We are required to remediate Java versions that have vulnerabilities. For our implementation, the version that needs remediation is at:

C:\Program Files (x86)\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\win32_x86\sapjvm\bin\java.exe

It is 1.8.0_241 and must be one of 1.7.0_301 / 1.8.0_291 / 1.11.0_11 / 1.16.0_1.

First, I am assuming that Java is indeed needed.

Next, how can it be upgraded? Can we just upgrade Java or does it require a new release of Crystal Reports.

Thanks.

Crystal Reports uses Java Scripts so the JVM is not required.

You should be able to upgrade the JVM without it affecting CR.
