  • Java package for a particular OS and architecture can be set as preferred. The preferred java package can be installed on multiple agents using the bulk actions menu.
  • Removal of unused java packages on multiple agents is possible.
  • Support for compact agents for Windows. Compact agents are required for Java package management.
Agents upgraded as compact

When an agent is installed or upgraded on a platform that supports compact agents, the agent is converted as a compact agent.
