Description
For GridServer 6.1.1 hotfix 17 and onwards, engine JRE is updated to version 1.8.0_91. During the hotfix application, if ‘updateJRE’ flag is not used, GridServer Engine will fail to start. Number of dependencies reliant on JRE being updated may not be processed if ‘updateJRE’ flag is not used.
Resolution
While applying hotfix 17 and onwards for GridServer 6.1.1, use the command below: “java -jar <TIB_gridserver_6.1.1_hotfix17.jar> -updateJRE -dsManagerPath [manager-install-dir]/manager” Replace the hotfix filename and install directory as appropriate. Ensure that ‘-updateJRE’ flag is used.
Once the hotfix is applied on the manager, download the new engine installation package from Engines>Engine Install on Admin UI and install it. The engine(s) should now start without any issues.
