Steps to Reproduce
Upgrade PRPC 6.3 SP1 to Pega 7 then attempt to start the application.
Root Cause
The root cause of this problem is software use/operation error. The prpc_j2ee14.ear deployment file was being used, which is not the correct ear file for a WebSphere deployment.
Resolution
To resolve this issue, use the prpc_j2ee14_ws.ear file instead. This was created specifically for Websphere and doesn’t utilize PRAsync JMS components.
