Upgrading Java JDK

When upgrading the Java JDK that is being used by TIBCO MFT Command Center, you have to update a few items of Java JDK before TIBCO MFT Command Center starts to use the new Java JDK.

Procedure

  • Follow either one of the procedures based on whether you are running TIBCO MFT Command Center on Windows or on UNIX.

    • If you are running TIBCO MFT Command Center on Windows as a service:
    1. Stop the TIBCO MFT Command Center service. Otherwise use the shutdown script to stop the TIBCO MFT Command Center process.
    2. Navigate to the MFTCC_Install\server\bin directory and issue the service remove command.
    3. Update the JAVA_HOME environment variable on the system pointing to the new JDK directory. And then run the java -version command to verify the version.
    4. If you are using any version prior to Oracle Java 8u161, update the Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy files.
