I need to apply a JRE patch on our SAS servers, the SAS is on Linux. The new patch going to be 1.8.0_362 . I would like to find the current JRE version before applying the hotfix. How can I find the JRE version on existing SAS installation ? I appreciate your help !
... and if you are on a server that has SAS software installed but not SAS Foundation you can also use the java -version command. The path will vary depending on where SAS software has been installed but on my server I can check it like so:
[sas@sas94m8 ~]$ /opt/sas94m8/sashome/SASPrivateJavaRuntimeEnvironment/9.4/jre/bin/java -version openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.56+20-SA (build 11.0.15+10-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.56+20-SA (build 11.0.15+10-LTS, mixed mode)

[sas@sas94m8 ~]$ /opt/sas94m8/sashome/SASPrivateJavaRuntimeEnvironment/9.4/jre/bin/java -version openjdk version "11.0.15" 2022-04-19 LTS OpenJDK Runtime Environment Zulu11.56+20-SA (build 11.0.15+10-LTS) OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM Zulu11.56+20-SA (build 11.0.15+10-LTS, mixed mode)
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Sir !
Hi @rkondapalli
You don't apply standard Java Updates to SAS Private JRE!!
You'll need to download the SAS JRE Updates from here https://support.sas.com/downloads/browse.htm?fil=&cat=590
and at the same time, you'll need to pay attention to the Security Bulletins https://support.sas.com/en/security-bulletins.html#jre-updates and its related steps https://support.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/support/en/documentation/instructions-for-sas-private-jre-up...
Hope this helps
