Issue/Introduction
After upgrading to CA UIM 8.51, Java 8.0 is now the default version.
Likewise, in the archive, we can see java_jre 1.80.
However, there are certain probes that do not fully work with java_jre 1.80.
Currently these probes have been identified:
sngtw
webservicemon
However, this could affect any Java-based monitoring probe that has not been updated since prior to March 2, 2017.
As it can be found in the sngtw's troubleshooting doc:
After upgrading to CA UIM 8.51, the probe stops processing tickets and displays an exception in the sngtw log file. This happens because the sngtw probe has not been updated to support Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 8 and UIM 8.51 includes JRE 8.
Environment
Cause
Some probes' internal coding still need to be improved so they are not being affected while working with java_jre 1.80.
Resolution
You must update the probe configuration to load JRE 7.
- Follow these steps:
- Open Infrastructure Manager.
- Right click on the sngtw probe, and click Edit.
- Modify the value of the Command field to: <startup java 1.7>
- Click OK and restart the probe.
The above has been proved the resolution for the webservicemon probe as well.

Additionally, each probe has documentation for its respective software requirements.

and reference the Software Requirements for each probe in the "Release Notes" section for that probe.
