After updating java_jre package on the OC servers, we identified the policy_management queue was no longer processing alarm policies and was in a yellow state.
Policy logs display the following errors:
2022-03-11 12:24:50,175 DEBUG com.ca.uim.policy.management.events.service.HeartBeatService:registerThisNode:282 [Catalina-utility-1] - Registering the policy node to master@https://<hubname>:8443/adminconsoleapp

If you do use certificates that come from an internal CA, you need to upload your root and any intermediate certificates to the cacerts keystore that is used by java.
Import the root SSL certificate to "\Nimsoft\jre\<most_recent_java_jre_version>\lib\security\cacerts" file on all OC nodes and restart the robot (oc robot):
1. Run cmd as administrator
2. Copy root-certificate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\jre\<most_recent_java_jre_version>\lib\security
3. Change the directory to :
C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\jre\<most_recent_java_jre_version>\lib\security
4. CACERTS Import command:
"c:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\jre\<most_recent_java_jre_version>\bin\keytool.exe" -importcert -keystore cacerts -alias cacerts -storepass changeit -file <root_cert_path> -trustcacerts
5. Restart OC robot
With 23.4 CU5 and above the path would be: c:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\jre21.
