java jre best practices
Great throbbing brain;
So, on a regular bases (quarterly) CPUs are released, which should be applied to your system (yeah, blanket statement with a bunch of caveats and conditions). Generally, these are restricted to core middleware applications : weblogic, tuxedo, and java.
So, I worked at one place where we applied patches quarterly, even if they weren't suggested/required by CPUs. Other places, they are applied yearly, whenever something breaks, at upgrade, or never.
One question that I have... The jdk version of java, should the jre also be kept in sync? If I have, at install/upgrade, jdk of 1.8_241, and jre of the same, when a CPU patch comes out to jdk 1.8_281, should I also update the jre in the PS_HOME to the same version or leave it as it was delivered until the PT are upgraded? I know all of that stuff is supposed to be matched and should be a min version or higher, but I welcome the inpur.
