Cause

error code 2 indicates that file C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\Mdb\Windows\jre\bin\java.exe could not be found

The directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\Mdb could be missing or partially deleted.

Resolution

In order to solve this problem :

- Rename the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\Mdb as C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\Mdb.old (if it exists)
- Restore the directory C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\mdb from another DOMAIN


Remark :
Adapt this solution with the correct path for Shared Component directory (default is : C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC).
