PAM\server\c2o\log\c2ow.log might show errors like:

FATAL  | wrapper  | Failed to resolve the version of Java.

Environment

Process Automation 4.3.x

Cause

Corrupted Java JDK

Resolution

The most common cause of the "Failed to resolve the version of Java" error is a corrupted Java JDK.

The recommended solution is to:

1.  Uninstall the current version of Java JDK installed on the ITPAM server

2.  Reboot ITPAM server

3.  Download and reinstall the same version of Java JDK on the ITPAM server

4.  Start the ITPAM Service

5.  If the ITPAM service still does not remain stable, reinstall the ITPAM Orchestrator and any applicable patches to rebuild the configuration files.

Additional Information

1.  When running the "java - version" command via a command prompt, the command may fail to execute properly. Be aware that this issue can still be encountered if the java -version completes successfully. 

          a. Verify that the version displayed is supported by checking the JDK Prerequisites

2.  It is recommended to exclude the Java JDK install directory from any anti-virus or security scan to avoid any Java JDK files from being deleted/modified
