Qlik Replicate Upgrade or Install: Java Conflict

[Michael_Litz]

Installing or Upgrading Qlik Replicate may fail with references to Java conflicts. 

Example error during installation:

file /app/areplicate/attunity/replicate/jvm/conf/logging.properties from install of areplicate-2023.11.0-282.x86_64 conflicts with file from package java-11-openjdk-headless-1:11.0.22.0.7-2.el8.x86_64

This is commonly caused by a different version of Java being installed as well as a symlink pointing to this instance, instead of the Java version which comes bundled with Qlik Replicate. 

Resolution

The files from your Qlik Replicate RPM package conflict with your already installed Java package and a symlink points to the conflicting installation folder.

Remove the symbol link, upgrade or install Qlik Replicate, and then re-create the symbol link. 

Rather than maintaining a separate Java package, Qlik recommends using the JVM bundled with Qlik Replicate RPM to avoid potential version compatibility risks.
