Technical requirements (Java)

The new Infront Data Manager Connect from version 4.1.2 runs under Java version 8 or higher.

We recommend the two latest Java LTS (Long Term Support) versions 8 and 11.

We test our distributed clients very thoroughly. For this purpose, we always take the latest Java 8 and 11 version. To get the best experience on your side and minimise the risk of security issues, we recommend you to also update regularly.

To find the Java version of your installation, go to your favourite CLI (command-line interface) and enter java -version . Older Java versions are not supported.

As a matter of principle, known security gaps should be closed as soon as possible. Therefore, we recommend keeping the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and the Java Development Kit (JDK) up to date as much as possible. This should be done within the framework of a centralised and coordinated patch management, which takes into account fundamental security aspects such as the trustworthiness of the installation source. Please note that you are responsible for proper patch management of your JRE/JDK to ensure security.

We would like to point out that Java version 8 can no longer be supported by us in the long term due to the expiry of support. We therefore already recommend migrating to Java version 11.
Please also note the information in the README file in the installation directory.
