A new Oracle JDK/Oracle JRE release mapping option is now available. This mapping behavior option overrides the default Technopedia mapping for those Oracle products mapped to a “public” release and re-maps them to a corresponding commercial release within the same Market Version (when one is available).

The new mapping option is only available for customers installed on Microsoft SQL Server, and it must be enabled, manually, by inserting a record into the PRC_SETTINGS table within the BDNA (default name) database.

To enable:

insert into PRC_SETTINGS VALUES(

99999, 99999, 'FEATURE', 'JDK/JRE Override', 'JDK/JRE Override', 1, GETDATE())

To disable:

delete from PRC_SETTINGS WHERE PRC_NAME = 'JDK/JRE Override'

Evidence previously mapped to product IDs 1153031091 and 1152995104 will be remapped (respectively) to 9200693 and 9200683.

Important:Despite the release ID change, some Technopedia content—such as CPE and CVE mappings—will not be updated. The mapping takes the original evidence attributes into consideration.
