Test server for oracle-java-8

[Carlos Antonio Ruiz Gómez]

Hi community, in order to start testing iDempire on java8 the test server https://demo.idempiere-erp.org was upgraded to use oracle-java-8 and postgresql 9.4

The server https://demo.idempiere.com is using java7 and postgresql 9.3

Also you can find iDempiere 2.1 test server at https://demo.globalqss.com

For documentation purposes, the setup of java8 on server was not straight, the console-setup-alt.sh didn't work at first, to workaround it I needed to run the keytool manually:

keytool -genkey -keyalg rsa -alias idempiere -dname "CN=localhost.localdomain, OU=idempiere, O=idempiere, L=Krefeld, S=NW, C=DE" -keypass myPassword -validity 999 -keystore /opt/idempiere-server/jettyhome/etc/keystore -storepass myPassword

and then the console-setup-alt.sh was able to finish its job.

You cannot run java8 on top of a server installed with java7, you need to install it from scratch.

There is also a minor warning you can ignore

warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=192m; support was removed in 8.0

Regards,

Carlos Ruiz

After setup when we run idempiere-server on  java8 get a error message

Hola Carlos Ruiz, I am testing your demo.globalqss.com but cannot login superuser @ idempiere.com I like to test my 3.0 plugins to see if they are backward compatible. Muchas gracias!

[Carlos Antonio Ruiz Gomez]

Hi Redhuan, there you log in with SuperUser.

The tip is to check the name of the box - if it says EMail or User

Regards,

Carlos Ruiz

[Carlos Antonio Ruiz Gómez]

I think hieplq found the solution

https://idempiere.atlassian.net/browse/IDEMPIERE-2503

Can you please test and provide feedback?

[Tomáš Švikruha]

Hi Carlos,

just tested run console-setup.sh with applied IDEMPIERE-2503 but it doesn't help. Still getting same error like Albert.

Question related to your note ("You cannot run java8 on top of a server installed with java7, you need to install it from scratch") - you mean that I shouldn't have both java7 and java8 installed on one server? Just tried to create installer for iDempiere with selected java 1.8 for compiling and server was not able to run with java 1.8 because console-setup was not working due to "java.lang.RuntimeException: Error initializing storage error"...

not sure what carlos mind at "You cannot run java8 on top of a server installed with java7"

but i can run success a window server with java8 and java7 include.

about console-setup.sh, test in window environment:
use console-setup-alt.sh not use console-setup.sh. with console-setup-alt.sh change 
plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.*.jar => plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.*.*.*.jar

I'm running daily build with java 8 and 9.4 on osx without the slightest problem. Installation was flawless as well

[Carlos Antonio Ruiz Gomez]

Clarifying:

"You cannot run java8 on top of a server installed with java7"

meant that I noticed if you did the console-setup with java7 it won't run with java8.
You must do the console-setup with java8.

I can confirm that...

[ferry.ir...@gmail.com]

Hi Guys,

I can run Idempiere 3.1 on java 7 & 8 on the same machine.
If "Error initializing storage" arise then I do the following steps:
1. Backup first all folder at \setup\configuration\
2. Delete all folder at \setup\configuration\, except config.ini
3. Run setup.bat again
4. Run idempiere successfully

Thanks

[Hardmax]

This work in linux too..
