Update JDK
1. Uninstall the existing JDK from the control panel
3. Install the downloaded setup
4. Set the Java Home using the new JDK path
You can set this up by following the below steps.
1. Search for Environment Variables.
2. Click the Environment Variables button.
3. Under System Variables, click New.
4. In the Variable Name field: JAVA_HOME if you installed the JDK (Java Development Kit) and Variable Value: Path to JDK folder (C:\Program Files\Java\jdk-18.0.1.1)
5. Click OK and Apply Changes as prompted.
You can verify this by executing %JAVA_HOME% in RUN
5. Make sure eMAM Upload Manager is running after this change
Possible issues and troubleshooting
Sometimes eMAM Upload Manager won't get started after updating the JDK. It might be referring to the old JVM.DLL. You will get an error like, Failed to load JVM DLL 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll', home in the Upload Manager logs files.
Please follow the below steps to fix it,
a. Open Registry
b. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\eMAMUploadManager\Parameters\Java
c. Set the Jvm with the new jvm.dll path
