Steps to Reproduce
Prepare the out-of-the-box EAR file and deploy it.
Root Cause
A defect or configuration issue in the operating environment.
WebSphere profile must be updated to use JDK 1.8.
Resolution
Make the following change to the operating environment:
- Run the WebSphere Application Server (WAS) managesdk command.
- Ensure to replace the <WAS_Home> with a customized value to set the Deployment Manager's default SDK to SDK 1.7 and redeploy the Pega EAR.
<WAS_Home>/bin>./managesdk.sh -enableprofileall -sdkName 1.7_64 -enableServers
CWSDK1017I: Profile Dmgr01 now enabled to use SDK 1.7_64.
