Description

Steps to update TIBCO DataSynapse GridServer Engine JRE on Windows & Unix platforms

Environment

OS: Windows & Unix

Resolution

Follow the below to change the JRE version for Unix Engines:
1. Shut down any running Engine Daemons: (../engine.sh stop)
2. Download the new required JDK version.
3. Create a temporary directory(for eg temp).
4. Copy the new JRE from JDK into a temporary directory. Also, ensure that you use the server version JRE (included in the Java JDK) and not the client version (from the standalone JRE.)
5. Rename jre folder with jre.platform (eg jre.linux-amd64)
6. Create a tar.gz archive of the directory containing the JRE folder. (eg jre.linux-amd64.tar.gz)
7. Navigate to $DS_INSTALL/manager/webapps/livecluster/public_html/register/install/jre/
8. Remove the tar.gz file which we want to replace.
9. Now copy the newly created tar.gz file to $DS_INSTALL/manager/webapps/livecluster/public_html/register/install/jre/
10. Change the permission of the newly copied tar.gz file with 755 For eg chmod 755 jre.linux-amd64.tar.gz
11. Edit the jre.platform.dat file. ( jre.linux64.dat)
12. Replace the version number of the old JRE version with the new JRE version.
13. Start the engines again (./engine.sh start)

For Windows engines, follow the below steps:
1. Shut down any running Engine Daemons.
2. Download the new required JDK version.
3. Create a temporary directory(for eg temp).
4. Copy the new JRE from JDK into a temporary directory. Also, ensure that you use the server version JRE (included in the Java JDK) and not the client version (from the standalone JRE.)
5. Rename jre folder with jre.platform (eg jre.win-amd64)
6. Create a zip archive of the directory containing the JRE folder. (eg jre.win-amd64.zip)
7. Navigate to $DS_INSTALL/manager/webapps/livecluster/public_html/register/install/jre/
8. Remove the zip file which we want to replace.
9. Now copy the newly created zip file to $DS_INSTALL/manager/webapps/livecluster/public_html/register/install/jre/
10. Change the permission of the newly copied zip file with 755 For eg chmod 755 jre.win-amd64.zip (If your manager is on Windows then set permission accordingly)
11. Edit the jre.platform.dat file. (jre.win64.dat)
12. Replace the version number of the old JRE version with the new JRE version.
13. Start the engines again.
