Use a different JRE

If a user starts an ARIS download client, a local Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is used.

Warning

If you change settings in the arisloader.cfg file, the settings will be lost after an update setup. Save modified configuration files locally and document your modifications. After an update installation you can easily compare your saved file and copy the modified line into the updated configuration file.

Prerequisite

Procedure

  1. Copy the jre.zip file to the ARIS installation directory next to the client.zip file:

    <ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_abs_<s, m, or l>\base\webapps\abs\downloadClient\lib

    A private JRE is already available. This private JRE is automatically used on a user’s machine if the locally installed JRE has an invalid version.

  2. Open the arisloader.cfg file (<ARIS installation path>\server\bin\work\work_abs_<s, m, or l>\base\webapps\abs\downloadClient\config).

  3. Change the default value of PrivateJRE=<arbitrary indicator for the jre>.

    You can enter any text string. It is important to change this string every time you have updated the jre.zip file. Only if this value has been changed, the jre.zip file will be unzipped and downloaded.

  4. Save the changes.

All download clients will use the zipped JRE.

If you update the JRE, you must change the PrivateJRE value again. If users already have downloader ARIS Download Client, each ARIS Download Client is updated and the updated JRE is used.
