Thank you very much for all the help and pointers (yes some slave issues did surface needing latest Java quickly resolved the issues.) Here is the report of my upgrade: 1: it was seamless no issues faced. 2: Upgraded all the plugins. 3: Minor issues faced related to Jococo plugin and some lost credentials which had to be reselected from drop down for Jenkins build success or failure notification to Stash\ Bitbucket 4: some slack api access keys configuration were lost. 5: had to change this for /etc/sysconfig/jenkins help from : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/38157686/migrating-to-jenkins-2-1-ajp-support-is-removed-in-winstone-3-0-due-to-jetty-9 JENKINS_AJP_PORT="-1"
But over all nothing that could be called a show stopper. I am \ will be for ever indebted to authors \ maintainers \ supporters of this software. Without you guys i am not sure where we would have been. regards, Raj On Wednesday, March 1, 2017 at 4:01:04 AM UTC-5, Baptiste Mathus wrote: > > Right, sorry, I misunderstood, I assumed Raj was using Java 7 VM for > running Jenkins already, but he didn't tell this part. > > @Raj: if you're still using a JDK6, then yes, you better indeed upgrade > everything to JDK8 while in the go.
