Oracle support TLS 1.2 Only

Oracle removing support for legacy Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocols in order to ensure improved security and performance. Beginning on July 31, 2018, Object Storage Classic will no longer support TLS 1.0/1.1 and will support only TLS 1.2 or higher.

we need to update all client-server combinations to use TLS version 1.2. Additionally, we recommend that you update any tooling which connects to Object Storage Classic (e.g., cloudberry, rman backups, etc.) to use TLS 1.2. To help ensure a smooth transition, we recommend using Java Runtime Environment release 7 or higher. Additionally, for those who use File Transfer Manager command-line interface (FTM CLI), we recommend using version 2.4 or higher to address unrelated feature enhancements and fixes; however, updating FTM CLI is not required to accommodate the transition from TLS 1.0/1.1.

How to determine Java version

Java (Unix/Linux) 

Run the following from the command line: 

 java -version

FTM CLI

Run the following from the command line:

 java -jar ftmcli.jar -v

when I invoke jdev I was getting this error my jdk version is not set.

Error: JDeveloper can't recognize the JDK version
 

Fix
open the (take backup) jdev.conf file and comment out the line

SetJavaVM hotspot and save it.

Then invoke jdev. works fine.
