Silk Central 19.5 or later internally uses the libraries of the AdoptOpenJDK instead of the Oracle JRE. This change affects all servers
(the application server, the front-end server, the chart server, the execution server) as well as the communication and interaction
between all servers.
For the front-end server, the chart server, and the application server, the following rules apply with
Silk Central 19.5 or later:
- New instances of these servers are always 64-bit.
- The default instance (silk) that is created with a new installation of
Silk Central is always 64-bit.
- As long as an existing 32-bit instance is not upgraded, it remains a 32-bit instance.
- Applying a hotfix to an existing 32-bit instance does not change the bitness to 64-bit. The instance remains a 32-bit instance.
- Upgrading an existing 32-bit instance to
Silk Central 19.5 or later automatically converts it to a 64-bit instance.
