Steps to upgrade BEMS and change to an alternate JRE
Perform the following steps to upgrade BEMS and change from Oracle JRE to an alternate JRE (for example, Azul Systems or Zulu). For more information, see KB 57053.
Consider the following before you upgrade the BEMS instance:
- The BEMS instance must be fully functional, and the Good Technology Common Services service must be running to perform an in-place upgrade of the BEMS software.
- Before you upgrade, verify that the BEMS debug logging level is not set to DEBUG or TRACE, or the upgrade or repair of the BEMS instance fails. For more information, see KB 42408.
Note: When you upgrade to JRE 17, it is a best practice to uninstall JRE 8 after the upgrade is complete, to allow for potential rollback if necessary.
If you have multiple BEMS instances in your environment, repeat these steps on each instance.
