Installing or updating Apache ActiveMQ

Use the latest version of Apache ActiveMQ to ensure your environment has the most recent security updates.
Note: Currently supported version of Apache ActiveMQ is 5.16.5.

To install or update Apache ActiveMQ, complete these steps:

  1. If you are updating an existing SunSystems installation, all SunSystems users must be logged out and all SunSystems services must be stopped.
  2. Open https://activemq.apache.org/download.html and select ActiveMQ 5.
  3. Click the latest Windows zip file, for example, apache-activemq-5.16.5-bin.zip. This downloads the Apache ActiveMQ file.
  4. Unzip and save the files to C:\SunSystemsPlatform\apache-activemq-5.16.5 or an equivalent folder.
  5. If you are updating ActiveMQ on an existing SunSystems installation, then you must specify the installation directory in the SUNSYS_ACTIVEMQ_HOME environment variable and run Restart Services. If you are installing a new version of SunSystems, then SUNSYS_ACTIVEMQ_HOME is set during the installation process.
  6. If required, run Restart Services.
