I have received an alert that qieLauncher needs to be updated before I can run QIE using Java 24 or later. How do I update it?

The qieLauncher service is used to monitor the main QIE service and restart it when needed for release updates and other tasks. The older version of the qieLauncher relied on a deprecated technology to talk to another running java service. This technology is being removed in java version 24 and will no longer work.

To prevent problems with the QIE environment, the qieLauncher needs to be updated. The update process is different when running windows vs linux.

Window

Simply update download the latest version of QIE and run the installer. The latest version of QIE can be found at https://www.qvera.com/qiedownload.html.

Once downloaded, stop the QIE service before running the installer.

Once the service is stopped, open the zip file and execute the .exe file. This will preserve all existing settings in your environment. The installer will install the latest version of the qieLauncher and update the QIE service to the latest version (unless the QIE service is already running the latest version, then it will only update the qieLauncher).

After the update, start the service.

Linux

Connect to the linux environment using ssh and then navigate to the qie home directory (usually /java/qie). Download the latest version by running "#> wget https://www.qvera.com/qiedownloadwar.html".

Once the file is download, stop the service using "#> sudo systemctl stop qie"

After the service is stopped extract the qieLauncher.jar file by running "#> unzip {downloaded QIE file} qieLauncher.jar. This step will replace the existing one in your qie home directory.

Now that it has been updated, start the service by running "#> sudo systemctl start qie"
