Modes of Operation

The TIBCO ActiveMatrix Updater Tool for Java Runtime Environment (JRE) works in two modes:

Discover mode — Discovers the various "TIBCO ActiveMatrix Administrator Instances" for a given TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME.
Update mode — For a given TIBCO_HOME, this mode updates the Java version in the relevant TIBCO ActiveMatrix .tra files in TIBCO_HOME. The affected .tra files are not just those that are included by hosts and nodes, but also those tools known to TIBCO ActiveMatrix Platform based products. The output is a list of the affected .tra files, hosts, and nodes.

Note:

The update affects all instances of TIBCO_CONFIG_HOME that are pointing to that particular TIBCO_HOME.
After updating the TIBCO_HOME to use JRE 1.8, if any new tibcohost or node instances are created, they will use JRE 1.8 by default.
