Issue/Introduction

This line is in the file 4 times, the below example is where I added the part of IPV6, this for some reason gets removed at each update. This update was 22.2.5 

 export ACTIVEMQ_OPTS="$ACTIVEMQ_OPTS_MEMORY $ACTIVEMQ_OPTS_OOM $ACTIVEMQ_OPTS_JMX -Djava.util.logging.config.file=logging.properties -Djava.security.auth.login.config=${ACTIVEMQ_HOME}/conf/login.config -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true"

Java IPV6 setting not preserved during upgrade. 

custom java setting not preserved during upgrade 

Environment

Release : 22.2

Resolution

You can create a file under IMDataAggregator or IMDataCollector custom.d directory.

Call it ipv6 or any filename you choose and in there put:

export ACTIVEMQ_CUSTOM_JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true"
export KARAF_CUSTOM_JAVA_OPTS="-Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=true"

Then let services start.

It will append the new KARAF_* args to DA/DC karaf process and ACTIVEMQ_* args to AMQ process.
