Environment

Gen Build Tool
Java EJB server

Cause

The "Enterprise JavaBeans" feature was not selected at Gen 8.6 install time.

Resolution

Per doc. page Installing Gen on the Windows Platform, a Gen 8.6 Typical install will not include the "Enterprise JavaBeans" feature which requires using the Custom option.

To resolve the problem:

1. Under Control Panel > Programs and Features.
2. Right mouse button on the "CA Gen 8.6" line and use option Change.
3. On the next Dialog use Next and then option Modify to get to the "Custom setup" dialog.
4. Select feature "Enterprise JavaBeans".
5. See screenshot:
