Supported Java versions

What's new: Release Notes. See also: SEP sesam Release Versions.

Check all supported OS, database configurations and versions.

Problems with Java or GUI? See SEP sesam Troubleshooting Guide or check the article Basic troubleshooting tips for Java issues.

SEP sesam GUI is platform independent – it is based on Java and requires a Java Runtime Environment (JRE). The required Java version depends on SEP sesam version.

Java is required on all systems that serve as SEP sesam Server, SEP sesam GUI client or SEP sesam Remote Device Server (RDS) when Si3 deduplication is used.
Java is not required for SEP sesam Client (does not provide GUI) or SEP sesam RDS if Si3 deduplication is not used.

Supported Java versions are: Oracle/Sun Java, IBM Java and OpenJDK.
You can download Oracle Java at Java downloads for all operating systems.

On Windows systems, you can use JAVA verify to check which Java version is installed.

IBM Java and OpenJDK are provided by the respective Linux distributions.

The following table shows compatibility between Java and SEP sesam versions.

Java version	SEP sesam version
Java 9 is not supported!	X
Java 8 (at least patch level 111) ≥ JRE 1.8.0_111 (required for Linux)	v. ≥ 4.4.3 Tigon V2
Java 8 (required for Windows)	v. ≥ 4.4.3
Java 7 (all OS except Windows)	4.4.3 ^{Note^a}
Java 7	4.4.2
Java 6	4.2.1 & 4.2.2

Note^a

SEP sesam versions 4.4.3 until 4.4.3 Tigon V1 running on non-Windows platform require Java 7, however, SEP sesam uses JavaFX for its web dashboard and user-defined schedules features. If you want to have all the latest features available, you have to manually install either OpenJFX package or Oracle®'s Java 8 (already includes JavaFX) on your SEP sesam GUI client.

-SEP sesam version ≥ 4.4.3 requires '''JavaFX''' for the new [[Special:MyLanguage/SEP_sesam_Dashboard|web dashboard]] and [[Special:MyLanguage/Creating_Custom_Calendar|user-defined schedules]] features. Oracle®'s ''Java 8'' already includes ''JavaFX'' (e.g., on Windows). Oracle®'s ''OpenJFX Project'' provides ''JavaFX'' packages that can be installed separately if some other Java version is used, such as IBM Java, which is typically installed on SuSE. Depending on your system and Java version, manually install either ''OpenJFX package'' or Oracle®'s ''Java 8'' on your SEP sesam GUI client to have all the latest features available.</translate></onlyinclude>
