Released on 12.04.2021 with StoRM v. 1.11.20. centos7
This release requires and install Java 11.
If you’re upgrading, you can update and restart StoRM backend service as follow:
yum update storm-backend-server
The update will upgrade also the native libraries as a dependency.
After the successful upgrade, the service will be restarted and you should have both Java 1.8 and Java 11 installed, but
Java 11 must be set as your default runtime. None of the latest StoRM Java components still need Java 1.8 so it can be safely removed as follows:
yum remove java-1.8.0-openjdk java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless
You shouldn’t see storm backend component within the involved dependencies.
If you cannot remove it, you can also set java 11 as default runtime JDK by running:
update-alternatives --config java
and select the proper Java 11 option.
Now, don’t forget to restart service:
systemctl restart storm-backend-server

In case of a clean installation please read the System Administrator Guide.
After the update from StoRM v1.11.19 to StoRM v1.11.20, if JVM and database are not on the same timezone, the Backend’s communication with MariaDB could start failing with the following error:
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: The server time zone value 'CEST' is unrecognized or represents more than one time zone. You must configure either the server or JDBC driver (via the serverTimezone configuration property) to use a more specifc time zone value if you want to utilize time zone support.
