issues with an old policy manager?

[koen matthijssen]

Hello all,

as CA/Broadcom is strict around support around old versions I was hoping someone here can help us. 

If we install an old version of the policy manager, version 8.4.0 we get the following error. Has someone ever experienced this before and does have a solution for it?

Thanks in advance

Hi :

8.2 and 8.4 version are EOS since several years ago.

https://support.broadcom.com/web/ecx/support-content-notification/-/external/content/release-announcements/CA-API-Gateway-Release-and-Support-Lifecycle-Dates/3023

Similar problem you describe has been resolved by re-installing java 8, uninstalling Policy Manager and ensuring that the local user l7tech folder was removed too, then re-install PM. Also have been resolved by having a user with a working version copying over the local user l7tech folder to the other machine and then restarting the computer. By the way, the local user l7tech folder is located here on a Windows PC C:\Users\<windows user="">\.l7tech\</windows>

Suggestion is to upgrade latest version (10.1) to leverage new features and support 

thanks
