progress 12.2 esb adapter returns Unable to spawn SonicMQ ClientConnect process. (12668)

[Aleksey Krivenya]

Hello,

I'm trying to install ESB adapter for progress 12.2
(docs: "Add the OpenEdge ESB Adapter to an existing OpenEdge installation on UNIX or Linux")

After successful ordinary installation I try to make a session to the Sonic server and I get an error on beginSession

Unable to spawn SonicMQ ClientConnect process. (12668)
Error connecting to the JMS AppServer service.

Month ago I did exactly the same procedure on the another similar server and it still have been working without this problem.

But now, new installations on HW and test VMs return this error.
Thus, I have the working server to compare with and even this doesn't help me to find out the reason of the error.

The same p-code, the same OS, very similar servers.
I've fully compared DLC folders by WinMerge on both servers, profile, env, PATH, java versions and read mostly all google results about (12668) but didn't find anything useful.

So, I've got two pretty similar servers, one is working, another HW (and a couple of temp VMs) - don't.
I expect the reason is somewhere in java...
Please help me with any advice.

Thank you in advance, I'm really stuck...

PS It is strange, but on the server with two working adapters (11.7 and 12.2): they both show the similar version of AdapterVersion: 10.2B
