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

Zulu

). For more information, see 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 42408.

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.
