Issue/Introduction

The iProcess Web Services Server Plug-in 11.3.0 installer must be run using a 32-bit Java 1.5 JRE. A 32-bit Java 1.5 JRE must be present on the server for the installation only –the Java 1.5 JRE can be removed post install. The plug-in can be updated post install to use a Java 1.8 JRE at runtime.

Environment

TIBCO iProcess Web Services Server Plug-in 11.3.0

Resolution

To configure the server plug-in to use a Java 1.8 JRE ;  amend the JAVA_BIN setting in one of the flowing files:

UNIX platform        PLUGIN_HOME/jetty-6.1.25/jetty.sh
                     PLUGIN_HOME/jetty-6.1.25/passwordmanager.sh
                     PLUGIN_HOME/jetty-6.1.25/securitymanager.sh

Windows platform     PLUGIN_HOME\jetty-6.1.25\jetty.cmd
                     PLUGIN_HOME\jetty-6.1.25\passwordmanager.cmd
                     PLUGIN_HOME\jetty-6.1.25\securitymanager.cmd

 
The JAVA_BIN setting defines the location / direct containing the Java 1.8 binary / executable.

For example:
On a UNIX platform update the JAVA_BIN line to read:
    JAVA_BIN="/opt/jre1.8.0_45/bin/"
 
The user running the jetty server must have permissions to access the Java 1.8 JRE installation and execute the  java binary.
