2246481 - Steps to upgrade local atom or molecule to JAVA 8

This KBA explains the step by step procedure how to upgrade the local atom to Java 8. This KBA is focussed for the customer who has installed their Local Atoms.

Impact:

This notice is to inform you that Oracle will no longer provide public updates to Java 6 or 7. Local Atoms running on Java 6 must be upgraded to Java 8.

PLEASE NOTE:  As of November 4, 2015, Boomi is no longer supporting Java 6 and will not be able to assist with support issues.

1. (Optional) Copy the full <atom_installation_directory>/jre directory and the install4j/pref_jre.cfg file to different locations before running the upgrader if you previously upgraded to a new Java version.

2. Go to Manage > Atom Management.

3. Select the Atom or Molecule from the list on the left.

4. On the Atom Info tab, click one of the following:

   • If you selected an Atom, click Configure Atom to use Java 8.

   • If you selected a Molecule, click Configure Molecule to use Java 8.

   A confirmation dialog opens, showing which upgrade file you have chosen to download. For example, you may see that you selected the atom_upgrade64.exe file. This means that you are upgrading a 64-bit Atom for Windows. If you are upgrading a 64-bit Atom for Linux, the file is named atom_upgrade64.sh.

   NOTE: If you are using Linux and if you accidentally downloaded a 32-bit installer and installed the Atom or Molecule on a 64-bit system, the upgrade program allows you to upgrade it to Java 8 on your 64-bit system.

5. Click Save File.

6. Navigate to file that you downloaded.

   • If you are using Windows or the Linux GUI, run the file. Then follow the wizard to complete all the following steps.

   • If you are using the GUI but want to force the installer to use the command line, run it with the -c flag: sh /<path>/atom_upgrade64.sh -c. Follow the prompts, which take you to step 8.

7. If you see a security verification window, click Yes.

   The Atom or Molecule Upgrade Wizard opens.

8. On the Welcome page click Next.

9. Do one of the following:

   • If you are using Windows or the Linux GUI, on the Select the Directory page click Browse, select the Atom or Molecule installation directory, then click OK.

   • If you are using the Linux command line, type the path to the Atom or Molecule installation directory.

   On Windows, the default Atom installation directory is C:/Boomi AtomSphere/Atom — <Atom_name>

   On Linux, the default Atom installation directory is /home/user/Boomi_AtomSphere/Atom/<Atom_name>. If you are using the Linux command line, make sure that the upgrade program completes successfully, then skip to the last step.

10. If you did not select an installation directory, a warning dialog opens. Click OK, then repeat the previous step.

11. Click Next.

12. If you selected the wrong type of installation directory, for example, you selected an Atom installation directory but you are upgrading a Molecule, a warning dialog opens. Click OK, then go back to step 8.

13. Click Next.

    Please wait for the upgrade program to complete. It stops your Atom or Molecule and then upgrades it. If the upgrade is successful, you see a completion message, and the Atom or Molecule’s name and the path to its preferred JVM.

14. Click Finish.

15. (Optional) To see the version of Java that the Atom or Molecule is using, go to Manage > Atom Management, select the Atom or Molecule in the list on the left, click the Startup Properties tab, and look at the Java Version field.

1. Please restart the Atom after the upgrade.

2. Please make sure that services related to the Local Atom in the server is running and also the service is set to "Automatic", so that it would start as soon as the server is started in a windows server.
