BMC Digital Workplace does not restart after a Java upgrade

If you upgrade Java as part of your BMC Digital Workplace upgrade, BMC Digital Workplace might not start. You must either update the path to the new location for Java, or copy the Java files to the previous location.

On a Microsoft Windows server, to update the location for Java, perform the following steps:

  1. Run the Regedit application.
  2. Open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\SmartITMyITTomcat8\Parameters\Java.
  3. Change the JVM path to the location where you installed the most recent version of Java.
