Java 8 upgrade

Follow these steps to upgrade your local basic runtimes and runtime clusters.

note

To perform this upgrade, stop the services that run the basic runtime or the nodes in your runtime cluster. You must stop all nodes in a runtime cluster. A “rolling restart” is not possible. Therefore, you should schedule this upgrade during maintenance downtime.

  1. Gather information about the Java installation that you are currently using, including:

    • The version of Java your runtime is using.

    • The path that your runtime uses to access the JRE (its Java.home).

  2. Determine whether you are using JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files. See information about JCE in the Basic runtime System Requirements topic.

  3. Upgrade your runtime to Java 8. Verify that the upgrade was successful.

  4. (Optional) If your basic runtime or runtime cluster uses JCE Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files, follow the instructions for reinstalling the relevant Java 8 .jar files.

  5. (Optional) If you manually imported certificates into the Java keystore for your Java 7 installation, re-import those certificates into the Java keystore for your Java 8 installation. For more information, see the Boomi User Community knowledge base article about migrating Java certificates to a new Java version or contact Support.

  6. (Optional) To switch back to Java 7 after upgrading to Java 8, follow the instructions for Making a basic runtime, runtime cluster, or runtime cloud use a different Java version.
