Title Running Our Software in the latest java machine
Date Updated 02/15/2007
Versions affected Version 5.x and 6.x.
OS affected Not a bug, 
Description Version 5.x and 6.x uses the java 1.3.x machine. This machine was released by Sun in 2000.  Currently there is a newer version of the java machine, jre1.4.   Some users can choose to use the latest Java Machine available instead of the one that Automize uses.
Causes Some users may have issues using the old java machine that Automize is bundled with.  We still use the jre1.3 machine for the following reasons:
1) We have used/tested Automize extensively for 4 years in the field using this machine
2) It is a lot smaller than the current jre1.4 machine (5.5MB vs. 11MB)
Solution This solution is for Windows Users only.  MacOS X users always have the latest JRE on their system

You can download and install either 1.3.1 or 1.4.0

JRE 1.3.1
1.  IMPORTANT: shut down the Automize NT service if applicable.
2. Shutdown the Automize scheduler engine & then close Automize.  
3.  Browse to the Automize folder.  
4.  Delete the 'jre' folder.
5.  Download JRE 1.3.1 (jre_131_19.zip). 
6.  Unzip it into the Automize folder. 
7.  This will create a new 'jre' folder.
8. Startup Automize.

Please note that JRE 1.3.1 (2001 release) is an upgrade to JRE 1.3.0 (2000 release).  However, we have NOT yet fully tested this JRE version for use with Automize 5.  It is possible that other issues may arise from using this version of JRE.

JRE 1.4.1
1.  IMPORTANT: shut down the Automize NT service if applicable.
2. Shutdown the Automize scheduler engine & then close Automize.  
3.  Browse to the Automize folder.  
4.  Delete the 'jre' folder
5.  Download JRE 1.4.2 (jre_142_13.zip). 
6.  Unzip it into the Automize folder. 
7.  This will create a new 'jre' folder.
8. Startup Automize.

Please note that JRE 1.4.2 (2003 release) is an upgrade to JRE 1.3.0 (2000 release).  However, we have NOT yet fully tested this JRE version for use with Version 5 or Version 6 products.  It is possible that other issues may arise from using this version of JRE.
