We are trying to install AEM Forms 6.5.24 on a Weblogic platform and getting below error while running ConfigurationManager.sh. We double checked that ../lib/adobe-lcm-bootstrapper.jar is present. Any advise.

Hi ​@JayaY,

The issue that you are seeing is because the LCM is not able to start itself properly because of an incompatible version of JAVA. 

Please know that, any JDK versions higher than 1.8.0_281 are not supported for WebLogic server. Request you to downgrade the JAVA and then validate the use-case your issue would be resolved. Please find below the documentation as well.

Thanks
Pranay
