Problem with upgrade version 3.5 CR11

Products

• CA API Developer Portal
• CA API Gateway

Issue/Introduction

Had a problem when updating the Portal of the Production environment. 

The upgrade-v3.5.CR11.sh script gives the following error: 

connect to localhost:37080 failed connection refused 

Logging contained error message :

Unrecognized VM option 'PrintGCApplicationConcurrentTime'
Error: Could not create the Java Virtual Machine.
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.

Environment

Release : 3.5 CR11

Component : API PORTAL

Cause

The  setenv.sh script had been updated to contain the following settings :

-XX:+PrintGC

-XX:+PrintGCApplicationConcurrentTime

-XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime

-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps

-XX:+PrintGCDetails

-XX:+PrintGCTaskTimeStamps

-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps

-Xloggc

These Garbage Collector logging settings were deprecated in Java 9 and then removed in Java 10.

API Portal 3.5 CR11 now comes with Java 10.

Resolution

Client needed to remove the following from the setenv.sh :

 

-XX:+PrintGC 
-XX:+PrintGCApplicationConcurrentTime
-XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime
-XX:+PrintGCDateStamps
-XX:+PrintGCDetails
-XX:+PrintGCTaskTimeStamps
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps
 -Xloggc
