Products

• Output Management Web Viewer

Issue/Introduction

Task will not start after IPL.  RSU1906 System maintenance applied on our z/OS 2.3 system.   only difference I see from the task that was working before IPL is the JAVA level.  Before IPL Task found:

JVMJZBL1012I Java Virtual Machine created. Version information follows: 

Java version "1.8.0_191"                                                

 

After IPL:

.JVMJZBL1012I Java Virtual Machine created. Version information follows: 

.java version "1.8.0_211"                                                

OM Web Viewer shuts down after this message:

 org.apache.catalina.core.AprLifecycleListener init                                                         

INFO: The APR based Apache Tomcat® Native library which allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java.library.path: .........
