Upgrade Domino 12.0.0fp3 -> 14 result in Java issues

Hi

This morning I upgraded a fully functional Domino 12.0.2fp3 to Domino 14 and got Java issues. When starting the server I get the following error:

'JVMJ9VM149E java.ext.dirs=/opt/hcl/domino/notes/14000000/linux/ndext:/opt/hcl/domino/notes/14000000/linux/jvm/lib/ext: is no longer supported. Please add the required libraries/jar files to the classpath.'

Consecuently (I guess) this affects Traveler server that shows following error in log: 'Traveler: Cannot create Java VM, result=-4'

I don't have a directory called /opt/hcl/domino/notes/14000000/linux/jvm/lib/ext and no extra java files, only what comes with Domino/Traveler.

Besides this Domino seems to work as expected as I can connect with my Notes client. But I would really like to get Traveler running again.

I have never seen this before and have searched the internet but haven't been able to find a solution.

Does anyone of you smart people know what to do?

Domino is running on Linux CentOS Stream 9 and have been running without issues for a long time before today's upgrade.

Thanks in advance

Hello Jonas,

After domino server upgrade, did you re-run the traveler installer? If not then you need to run the Traveler installer as well.

In addition to my above point, you can find the related document as below.

  • If you upgrade the Domino® server major version you must re-run the HCL Traveler install to ensure proper binary files are installed. For example, if running HCL Traveler 11.0.0 on Domino® 10.0.1 and you upgrade to Domino® 11.0.0, re-run the HCL Traveler 11.0.0 installer.

Thank you so much. This solved the issue. I thought the issue I got with reinstalling was linked to the JVM error but after following the instructions in your link and doing some db management I got the reinstall working and that solved my problem.

Thank you again. You saved my day (and probably weekend)

Happy to help you Jonas.

Happy weekend.

Hi.

I tried to reinstall but that didn't work either. But now when I know I need to do that I will look into that a bit more. I thought the error was because of the upgrade.

When I start the Traveler installation it thinks for a while and then exits with a text describing the four different ways of installing, but without doing anything. I have a hard time describing it because the message is in Swedish ;)

In worst case I will uninstall and try again.

Hello Jonas,

I would also suggest to install FP1 for Domino 14.0 in case if that's not installed.

Kindly share your observations how it goes.

Thanks and Regards

Thanks

FP1 is installed also but I got the error first time when I upgraded to 14.0.0.

OK So do you get the error after applying FP1 or no error?

Thanks and Regards

Problem solved. See my reply to Aniket Salve above.

Thank you for your effort.
