3. Create a copy of the ESPdSeriesWAWebServices_HomeDir\apache-tomcat\bin\service.bat file. 
4. Edit the ESPdSeriesWAWebServices_HomeDir\apache-tomcat\bin\service.bat file.
   • Change line 228

     --JvmOptions "-Dcatalina.home=%CATALINA_HOME%;-Dcatalina.base=%CATALINA_BASE%;-D%ENDORSED_PROP%=%CATALINA_HOME%\endorsed;-Djava.io.tmpdir=%CATALINA_BASE%\temp;-Djava.util.logging.manager=org.apache.juli.ClassLoaderLogManager;-Djava.util.logging.config.file=%CATALINA_BASE%\conf\logging.properties;%JvmArgs%" ^
     
     To:
