Please note this script will only work if you have a valid installation of Java 8 on your platform. Your existing Gateway might run with a different version of Java but Java 8 must be available on the platform as well. If this is the case then please enter the absolute path of the Java 8 binary file when prompted.
We are currently running the following version of Java for our local Gateways at ECMWF:
- java version "1.8.0_60"
- Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_60-b27)
- Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.60-b23, mixed mode)
Although it should work with any release of Java 8 please note we have only tested the Gateway with the release mentioned above.
This script will upgrade any Gateway from v2.0.1-v3.1.0 to v4.2.0. The configuration will be imported from the initial installation. It is a safe upgrade, the initial ECaccess installation is not altered and the start-up scripts are not modified (to be done manually). If this is required the script can also handle simultaneously a Java upgrade (the Database is converted and the script also deals with the Java keystore conversion).
