Environment

Release : 12.3

Component :RA FTP agent

Resolution

It was observed the java version used by the RA FTP agent got upgraded and the agent was not able to find the correct agent executable path as defined in service manager 

Reinstalled original java version and path on server which the agent was using previously after which the agent started back successfully
