What's New In Joget DX Installation Files

The following are new in Joget DX:

  • Joget DX uses Glowroot for Java APM; thus a new "-javaagent" argument in needed in the startup script, example below:
    • set JAVA_OPTS=-Xmx768M -Dwflow.home=./wflow/ -javaagent:./wflow/aspectjweaver-1.8.5.jar -javaagent:./wflow/glowroot/glowroot.jar
  • Joget DX has new runtime Glowroot files in ".\wflow\glowroot\".
  • Joget DX has a higher default maximum memory allocation pool for the JVM in @-Xmx768M@. Joget DX requires more heap space and if your server has the additional RAM, do allocate more @-Xmx@ memory for better performance.
  • Joget DX installation is running on "apache-tomcat-8.5.41".
  • Joget DX installation is running on Java "jre11.0.2". However Joget DX can still run on Java 8.

General Upgrade Flow

Warning

Compatibility: It is strongly recommended that you test the upgrade on a development or test environment first.  If you are upgrading from v3, please note that there have been security hardening changes since v4 so please refer to v4 Compatibility.

Licensing: For the Enterprise Edition, upgrades between major versions (e.g. v5 to v6) requires re-activation with a new license, so users with an active Enterprise Software Subscription are required to request for a new license.

IMPORTANT: Starting from v6.0.15, JAVA 8 is required due to fixes for vulnerability issues of a dependent library.
