Hi listers - I've been working on a vanilla 8.1 install as I've had time for a sandbox I can test stuff in. Windows Server 2008R2, SQL Server (remote box), Tomcat. At this point only ARS and CMDB, and Atrium Integrator are installed.
During the course of the ARS install I installed JRE 8, which ended up not being compatible. So I downgraded to JRE 7 and everything worked fine, except the java plugin process (and a few other things) will not start up correctly when invoked by armonitor.exe. What I can't figure out is where a reference to the JRE 8 is coming from in the armonitor.log file. I see this right after the plugin server is supposed to start: Thu Aug 21 11:06:51 2014 Invalid argument : "C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\java" -Xmx512m -classpath "C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\pluginsvr;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\pluginsvr\arpluginsvr81_build001.jar;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\approval\bin\ Obviously it's referencing the wrong JRE in there, but I have NO idea where it is coming from. The armonitor.conf does NOT have any references to JRE8. I've checked it several times, and I've had other eyes on it too. I have searched the entire registry, changed a couple of wrong JRE references, bounced the box, and that didn't fix it. I have verified the PATH is correct: Path=C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\artools;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\pluginsvr;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;C:\Windows\system32;C:\Windows;C:\Windows\System32\Wbem;C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\VSShell\Common7\IDE\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\Tools\Binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\Binn\;C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\Common7\IDE\PrivateAssemblies\;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\dataimporttool; C:\Program Files\BMC Software\ARSystem\midtier\WEB-INF\lib;C:\Program Files\Java\jre7\bin;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\AtriumCore\cmdb\sdk\bin;C:\Program Files\BMC Sof tware\AtriumCore\cmdb\plugins;C:\Program Files\BMC Software\AtriumCore\cmdb\plugins\ne; The JRE_HOME and JAVA_HOME environment variables are set correctly. In fact, I checked the environment and there are no references to JRE8 at all. There was a point where the PATH was wrong, but I fixed that and bounced the box. And, if I copy+paste the java plugin line from armonitor.conf into a dos window, it works and starts up fine. Any idea where the wrong path is coming from?
