The Snaplex Linux installers include a bundled OpenJDK-based JRE 11 distribution. You can follow the instructions in this document to change the Java version on your Linux and Windows Snaplex instances. You might need to change the Java version to update the JRE in order to receive security and functionality fixes in the newer JRE distribution. Even if your organization has a license for a different JRE distribution, you can use the procedure in this article to configure the Groundplex to use the said JRE.

Note

We support only Java 11-based distributions; Java 12 or newer versions are not yet certified by SnapLogic. Java 8 or earlier versions are not supported.

    • For RPM systems, run the following command:
      rpm -U --force snaplogic-<your snaplex file>.rpm
    • For DEB systems, run  the following command:
      dpkg -i snaplogic-<your snaplex file>.deb
    • For Docker, stop the existing container and start a new container using the latest image.

    $ sudo /opt/snaplogic/bin/jcc.sh start.

To create the /etc/sysconfig directory and /etc/sysconfig/jcc file as well as grant read permissions to all users, run the following command:
