10. Troubleshooting

• JDK 17 (archive)
• JDK 21 (Windows)
• JDK 25 (Windows)

• Database Downloads
• JDBC Driver Page
• JDBC 42.7.8 Direct Link

• Tomcat 10
• Tomcat 11

• Kafka Downloads
• Kafka 4.1.0 (tgz)

To download the software, your Pega account must be linked to an organization, and your administrator must have granted you the necessary permissions.

• Pega community website

• Download Bouncy Castle Java - Bouncycastle or Maven links
• bc-fips 2.1.2
• bctls-fips 2.1.22

Ensure the following components are installed and configured:

• Java JDK (17 or above)
• PostgreSQL (running) + JDBC driver
• Apache Tomcat 10
• Kafka 4 (KRaft mode)
• Pega Infinity 25 installation ZIP
• Bouncy Castle FIPS JARs (for Tomcat compatibility)

Create a database (e.g., pega25) and add schemas:

• rules
• data
• customerdata

You can use pgAdmin or DBeaver — both work great.

Edit this file inside the extracted Pega → scripts folder:

# JDBC Driver configuration
pega.jdbc.driver.jar=C:/path/to/postgresql-42.7.8.jar
pega.jdbc.driver.class=org.postgresql.Driver
pega.database.type=postgres

# Database connection details
pega.jdbc.url=jdbc:postgresql://localhost:5432/pega25
pega.jdbc.username=postgres
pega.jdbc.password=postgres

# Pega admin password (choose your own)
pega.admin.password=rules@12345

# Schema names
rules.schema.name=rules
data.schema.name=data
customerdata.schema.name=customerdata

# Temporary directory
user.temp.dir=C:/Pega/Temp

📝Note

⚠️ Tip: A single typo (in schema or paths) can break installation later — double-check before proceeding.

1. Run install.bat from the scripts folder.
2. Wait until it completes (10–30 minutes).
3. Check scripts/logs for success message.

If it fails, drop the database, recreate schemas, and retry.

1. Copy archives/prweb.war → tomcat/webapps.
2. Run startup.bat.
3. Once expanded, stop Tomcat using shutdown.bat.

4. Log in with:
   • User: [email protected]
   • Password: rules@12345

• Ensure PostgreSQL is running
• Verify credentials in context.xml
• Check JDBC driver presence in tomcat/lib

• Review tomcat/logs/catalina.out
• Check for port conflicts

• Verify Kafka is reachable
