I have found myself asking where can I download old versions of Java several times lately. They are generally found on Oracle’s website on a version archive page. To help with direct acess to versions here’s a list with a few versions:
| Version | 64-bit JDK | 64-bit JRE | 32-bit JDK | 32-bit JRE |
| 8u25 (1.8) | JDK | JRE | JDK | JRE |
| 7u72 (1.7) | JDK | JRE | JDK | JRE |
| 6u45 (1.6) | JDK | JRE | JDK | JRE |
| 5.0u22 (1.5) | JDK | JRE | JDK | JRE |
As I work with the Oracle Business Intelligence Applications (OBIA) repository in ODI studio I have recently noticed I am no longer able to right click on objects. I have found two solutions, the first one is a work-around:
Work Around:
Let’s assume you want to right click on a particular folder or scenario, you notice as you do so the context menu does not come up, go ahead and do the following:
This work around works if you are restricted on changing your installation’s settings or using a hosted platform such as Citrix
Solution:
In cases where you have access to install software your system then you should look into the compatibility matrix for ODI Studio and the version of Java you are working with. In my case I noticed the hosting provider for my environment has setup JDK 1.7 64-bit, I noticed for some versions of ODI JDK 1.6 was required so I downloaded both 32 and 64 bit versions and pointed my odi.conf file to them version. The 64 bit version did solve my issue, which is great since I can allocate more memory to the client under this bit version.

One common administrative task that I find myself doing when I realize that my ODI logs are growing fairly large is purging old sessions from the log. The steps are fairly straightforward as follows:
