Environment

Release : 12

Component : WORKLOAD CONTROL CENTER

Cause

The same install works fine with the JRE provided via the ISO.

The JRE packages that customer had either were not enough or needed to be reinstalled  

 

Resolution

Reinstall the JRE provided as part of the OS.

 

Customer originally had the headless Java. 

dnf list installed | grep java

dnf remove -y java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64

 

He installed just java and that fixed the issue. 

dnf install -y jre

 

Then the installed agent fine with this JRE reference to the installer
