    Hi Techies,


    Can we use JRE  with API Gateway 9.2 ? As per documentation  I can see JDK needed but wanted to know if there is nay possibility to user JRE.

     

    Thanks!

    You would need a JDK for Gateway 9.2 as stated in the documentation under "Java":

    https://docops.ca.com/ca-api-gateway/9-2/en/release-notes-9-2/requirements-and-compatibility/software-gateway-specifications

    Installing JRE is not sufficient and you need to have the correct version of JDK installed for the Gateway. JDK contains more than just the compiler. See https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/index.html and https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/desc_jdk_structure.html.

    Hope this helps
