When the TIBCO iProcess Engine processes are started all the processes start correctly except IAPJMS which has a SUSPENDED status.

The sw_error.log file will have messages such as:

2018/10/29 16:11:57(iapjms:::2::com.staffware.core.swprocess.library.SWProcessControl::206):1996-Failure in JPROC Layer [Couldn't initialise Java Process] [java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: javax/jms/JMSException : Unsupported major.minor version 51.0]
2018/10/29 16:11:57.281407(IAPJMS:1:5280:2::::pro:iapjms.c:82343:310): 1996-Failure in JPROC Layer [Failed to start Java Layer] [-2]
2018/10/29 16:12:02.400232(PROCMGR:2:9124:1::::pro:pmstart.c:84226:2216): 1885-Failed to connect to monitor socket for process (LMID = 1, LPN = IAPJMS, LPI = 1).   Socket error (Unknown error code: 0) on port number 61343.

The Unsupported major.minor version may not always be 51.0.

The iapjms_java.log will report an error such as:

2018-10-29 16:11:57,270 [ERROR] SWProcessControl - Unexpected exception while constructing SWProcessControl

The problem is the result of the IAPJMS process not being able to load the correct version of Java.

This would normally be caused by the SWLIB_PATH process attribute having the wrong configuration.

IAPJMS process fails to start with JMSException : Unsupported major.minor version written to sw_error.log

All supported versions and operating systems

Update the SWLIB_PATH process attribute and assign it the value where the IAPJMS process will look for the Java libraries that it needs.

For example:

swadm set_attribute 0 ALL 0 SWLIB_PATH "C:\swserver\staffw_jhtest\java\bin\client"

Refer to the SWLIB_PATH section in the Administering Process Attributes chapter of the TIBCO iProcess Engine Administrator’s Guide.
