Environment

UIM 8.51

Resolution

UIM telemetry probe 1.22 released with UIM 9.02 but UIM 8.5.1 is configured to use sqljdbc_auth.dll with lower version. 

Steps below resolve this problem by putting the required sqljdbc_auth.dll v6.0.8.112.2000 file according to the instructions below: 

1) Deactivate the Telemetry probe 1.22 in UIM Admin Console 
2) Download the applied sqljdbc_auth.dll file 
3) Open the folder where is situated the Telemetry probe (as example: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\probes\service\telemetry) 
4) Delete all files with the name which starts as "hs_err_pid*" 
5) Create a new folder with name lib 
6) Place the downloaded sqljdbc_auth.dll file in this lib folder
7) Open Raw Configure to Telemetry probe in UIM Admin Console 
8) Choose tab startup 
9) Change options value to this string "-Xms32m -Xmx1024m -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=US -Djava.library.path=./lib -XX:+UseG1GC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=10" without quotes
10) Push UPDATE button
11) Activate the Telemetry probe in UIM Admin Console.
