This section lists the prerequisites and steps for applying this patch.
Though every release of Adeptia comes with seamless upgrades and bug-free patches. For customer's complex use cases, we recommend applying the patch in a non-production environment first followed by testing. After the use cases run successfully without any errors or warnings, you can apply the patch in the production environment.
Prerequisites

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:
- Go to …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\etc location.
- Open launcher-bak.properties file.
- Identify your jars and move those jars from their current location to the following location: …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\AdeptiaServer\ServerKernel\ext.
Update window services
If you have upgraded from Adeptia Connect v2.9.2 or earlier to the higher versions, you need to remove the existing windows services i.e. Adeptia Suite Kernel and Adeptia Suite WebRunner and add two new windows services (Connect Kernel and Connect WebRunner).
Follow the steps below to remove the older services:
- Open the Terminal as an administrator.
- Go to the …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\jre\bin.
Run the following command to remove the old Windows services:
jsl -remove "…<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\ServerKernel\jsl-Kernel_Unregister.ini"
jsl -remove "…<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\ServerKernel\jsl-WebRunner_Unregister.ini"
Follow the steps below to add the new services:
- Open the Terminal as an administrator.
- Go to the …<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\jre\bin.
Run the following command to add the new Windows services:
jsl -install "…<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\ServerKernel\jsl-Kernel.ini"
jsl -install "…<ConnectServerInstallFolder>\ServerKernel\jsl-WebRunner.ini"
Go to windows services to check if these services have been added successfully. To start Adeptia Connect server, you need to start these two services.
Once the post patch deployment steps are done, start the services, i.e. Kernel, WebRunner, and AIMap.
- 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.
Click here to download the recommended version of MySQL jars (mysql-connector-java-8.0.18.jar) and follow the steps to upgrade it. - If you are using Spazio Listener, Spazio Source, and Spazio Target then you have to copy active MQ jars in ext folder. Click here for detailed information.
