Restoring user-defined jars

With the new patch the launcher.properties file is updated and no longer has the list of jars in it. If you have defined your own jars in previous version of launcher.properties file, you need to move them to the ext folder to load them at the time of Kernel and WebRunner start up. Follow the steps below:

  1. Open launcher.properties file that you had saved as a backup. 
  2. Identify your jars and move those jars from their current location to the following location: .../<AdeptiaInstallFolder>/AdeptiaServer/ServerKernel/ext.

Once the post patch deployment steps are done, start the services, i.e. Kernel and WebRunner.

Info

If you are using Database/Advanced Database Event, Source/Target activity with MySQL Database Server using an older version of MySQL JDBC jars then it is recommended to upgrade the jars to mitigate the vulnerability associated with the older jars.
