Known issues in OpenEdge 12.8.5

The JMS Adapter product is incorrectly set to use Java 17 in the JMSAdapterJava.properties file. The JMS Adapter will not work as the required Java version for JMS Adapter is Java 8. It is necessary for the user to manually modify the MQ_JAVA_HOME property to point to the Java 8 folder in the JMSAdapterJava.properties file. If multiple versions of Java are installed on the machine, make sure to use the correct path for Java 8. The below example assumes ${JAVA_HOME} is set for Java 8. For example: MQ_JAVA_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}

The ESB Adapter product is incorrectly set to use Java 17 in the ESBAdapterJava.properties file. The ESB Adapter will not work as the required Java version for ESB Adapter is Java 8. It is necessary for the user to manually modify the ESB_JAVA_HOME property to Java 8 folder in the ESBAdapterJava.properties file. If multiple versions of Java are installed on the machine, make sure to use the correct path for Java 8. The below example assumes ${JAVA_HOME} is set for Java 8. For example: ESB_JAVA_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}

Starting with OpenEdge version 12.8.4, update releases are only available as an incremental installation. The update release doesn't update the version number in Microsoft Windows "Apps & Features" section and in Control Panel "Programs and Features" section.  The issue exists on Windows 32-bit and 64-bit platforms.

The workaround solution for Windows 32-bit is to update the following registry key:

\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{77E9979A-6D21-4058-9FA7-E011D4326879}

Key name is DisplayVersion

Key value is 12.8.5

The workaround solution for Windows 64-bit is to update the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{BD927122-5C43-468C-8CDF-5A8A224AB843}

Key name is DisplayVersion

Key value is 12.8.5

Starting with OpenEdge version 12.8.4, installing the ESB Adapter will fail with the error “OpenEdge r12.8 installation corrupted: "DLC" registry not found”. This problem occurs only on the Windows platform. The work around solution is documented as a part of below KB article:

Starting with OpenEdge version 12.8.4, update releases are only available as an incremental installation. To install the ESB Adapter, a version of the Adapter 12.8.3 or earlier must be installed before running the update. In other words, you cannot directly add an OpenEdge ESB Adapter 12.8.4 or later to an existing OpenEdge installation without the ESB Adapter being previously installed.

If a THIS-OBJECT: reference is inside of the property’s GET or SET method, the getter or setter will not execute for that reference. If the class is compiled with 12.8.3, or compiled using -thisObjectPerformance 0 in 12.8.4 or 12.8.5, the result is correct.
