Oracle Java Management Service (JMS), an Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) service for managing the use of Java in the enterprise, has added an Analyze Applications capability, for gaining quick, actional insights on Java applications. Other enhancements, including advanced task scheduling and observability for Java workloads in Kubernetes environments, are slated to boost management of Java fleets.

The JMS update was announced October 6. The new Analyze Applications feature allows developers to gain โ€œinstant, actionable insightsโ€ on Java applications without needing to set up JMS fleets or installing agents, Oracle said. Developers only need to load Java artifacts or JDK Flight Recorder (JFR) recordings to receive migration or performance reports to help optimize the code base.

Expanded management capabilities include task scheduling to automate routine JMS actions such as Java runtime scans, analysis operations, and life cycle management across fleets or individual managed instances. Flexible options enable one-time and recurring schedules, Oracle said.

In addition, JMS now provides observability and management for Java workloads in Oracle Kubernetes Engine and other Kubernetes environments. Kubernetes users can monitor running Java applications, view usage from containerized environments, and initiate JFR recordings for real-time diagnostics and compliance, even for microservices in modern cloud-native stacks, Oracle said.

Finally, JMS has added support for the Enterprise Performance Pack (EPP), Oracleโ€™s high-performance JDK 8 runtime. JMS now identifies, reports, and manages EPP instances across managed Java estates, Oracle said.

OCI-based JMS can be used to observe and manage Java workloads across an enterprise, including those running on-premises, in third-party clouds, and in OCI. The new capabilities can be leveraged in the Oracle Cloud Console under JMS. Official documentation is available at docs.oracle.com.
