Component : AUTOMIC AUTOMATION INTELLIGENCE INTEGRATION FOR AWA

Resolution

When starting the automic-connector, it must be launched by running "java -jar automic-connector-2.1.1.jar" and not run as a service, as there is is a defect with the service running in HTTPS.

 

Defect DE517848, was created for the service not starting in HTTPS.
