Even after the probe has been reverted back to 1.23 by redeploying previous version on top of existing the probe does not work and has the java startup error

Environment

• Release: 20.3 /20.4
• Component : UIM - ICMP
• icmp versions-> 1.23, 1.24HF1, 1.27, and 1.28

Resolution

This has been identified as a defect and will be fixed in next release of the icmp probe 

Workaround

Upgrade the probe to v1.28 and change the probe arguments to below string:

-Djava.library.path=lib -jar icmp.jar

 

Restart the icmp probe and the probe will be activated.
