Issue/Introduction

Hi,

after upgrading to 21.2.8 our NCM will not start.  We will get this output:

 # cat NCMSERV.OUT

Cause

A customized SPECROOT/lib/SDPM/partslist/NCMserv.idb is pointing to an old jar.

Environment

Release : 21.2

Component : Spectrum Applications

Resolution

custom NCMSERV.idb  points to incorrect CLASSPATH:

ENV;CLASSPATH=$SPECROOT/lib/jdom.jar<CSPATHSEP>;

The correct one in 21.2.8 is this:

ENV;CLASSPATH=$SPECROOT/lib/jdom-2.0.6.1.jar<CSPATHSEP>;

 

Additional Information

The default NCMserv.idb looks like this on Windows 21.2.8
