Environment

Release : 14.4 CP1 - possibly lower and higher also.

Cause

Connector version visible in IAM JCS UI (localhost:20080) - JCS UI was old (1.1.1.20210219).

Version should be  at least 20211111 (Since 14.4.1 was released in 2021 November).

Resolution

Solution: Clear JCS cache:
================
- Stop JCS Service
- Delete the following folders
..\Connector Server\Data\activemq
..\Connector Server\data\cache
..\Connector Server\data\derby
..\Connector Server\data\port
- Start JCS Service

Make sure the version is current and try again.
