2008

TKU June 2008

In TKU June we introduced support for Windows Shortened Paths. In many cases, a scan of a Java Virtual Machine will return a path shortened by Windows (ie, JROCKI~1). We introduced an algorithm that expands this path to its Long Path (ie, jrockit_1_5_00).

This allows for Path Versioning to function correctly and return the expected Version.

TKU August 2008

In TKU August we introduced a fix for a Discovery timeout issue that affected Linux and Solaris when executing the active version command

TKU September 2008

In TKU September one of the regular expressions to pull out a product version following active version command was improved.

2009

TKU February 2009

In TKU February 2009 we added a configuration section which allows sudo support to be disabled (default) or enabled and allows the path to the sudo process to be user-defined (defaults to PRIV_RUNCMD). This same configuration section also allows pmap support to be disabled (default) or enabled and allows the path to the pmap process to be user-defined.

For further details, please refer to the relevant section.

2010

TKU April 2010

In TKU April 2010 active versioning is no longer used if the trigger process is javaw.exe (Windows platform) as the active command approach does not return any versions and may with some installations of Java actually cause the process to hang impacting the performance of the discovery engine.

TKU September 2010

From TKU September 2010 the publisher information is obtained from the java -fullversion command as well as the java-version command

2011

TKU August 2011

In TKU August 2011 path versioning was improved.
Also the pattern was enhanced to detect the installation type whether it is a JDK or a JRE (QM001712121)

TKU September 2011

In TKU September 2011
The JVM is now modeled as a Runtime Environment Node from Atrium Discovery 8.3 onward.
