Update of the Java distribution

The installer takes care of updating the JDK for all INUBIT and portal components.

The new JDK installation is located in the _jvm folder. The previous JDK installation is located in the folder _jvm_backup.

After the update

  • Drivers, etc

    Copy all drivers from the previous JDK directory to the new JDK directory. This applies, for example, to the SAP library (sapjco3.dll or libsapjco3.so).

  • Certificates

    There is a new version of the cacerts file in the new JDK directory.

    ATTENTION: Copying the previous cacerts file directly into the new JDK folder runs the risk of losing newly added default certificates in the JDK installation.

    Therefore, it is recommended to manually add the necessary certificates to the new cacerts file.

  • Link

    In the java_home_path_setter.[sh|bat] file, the entry for "JAVA_HOME" points to the newly added JDK installation folder.

Java version check

The java_home_path_setter.[sh|cmd] script contains the following line with the required Java version number:

set JAVA_MAJOR_VERSION_REQUIRED=<required JAVA version>

If the Java version set in the JAVA_HOME environment variable differs from the required Java version, a message is displayed, and the startup process is stopped when trying to start the INUBIT Process Engine or the Remote Connector. As long as the wrong version is used, neither the INUBIT Process Engine nor the Remote Connector can be started.

If you use a different JDK than the one supplied with the installer, you must manually update the link to the Java/JDK installation to be used.
