Jamf Pro Server Tools after 11.3 upgrade

I have the same I think. Just upgraded my Dev JAMF server (Windows) to 11.3.2 and it seems Apache Tomcat 9 is now the version yet under the server tools it is not starting as it says it cannot find tomcat8. The JAMF web interface is working fine though so looks like the Server Tools part is not getting the fact it now uses Tomcat 9. 

Do JAMF have any solution for this as I use the Server Tools a lot and don't like seeing the RED Status: Error lol

FYI - I also stuck to Java 11

Thanks, good to hear I am not the only one affected.

Interestingly I get another error message (error: failed to start the server: exit status 2), but this might be due to other language pack on the server? If I remember correctly exit status 2 also meant something like service not found so it's probably the same issue.

I opened a ticket with Jamf yesterday, but no progress yet.

FANTASTIC - I changed the entry for the tomcat8 to tomcat9 in the tools.yaml and all working again :)

That worked perfectly - thanks!

For anyone who hasn't heard of the file (like me), the file paths are:

On Windows, the configuration file is stored in the following locations:

User-based location (default): %LOCALAPPDATA%\\Jamf\\tools.yaml

A typical path is: C:\\Users\\<username>\\AppData\\Local\\Jamf\\tools.yaml

Global location (optional): %ProgramData%\\Jamf\\tools.yaml

A typical path is: C:\\ProgramData\\Jamf\\tools.yaml

Thank you for posting this. I was shocked when I tried to open the Server Tools and it says it was looking for Tomcat8, when I knew JAMF decided to upgrade to Tomcat9. Was throwing an error about the Database.xml missing as well, and it was referencing the wrong location. Would have been fantastic if JAMF had mentioned this in the upgrade notes.

jamf-pro CLI (3.1.1) still not able to perform server actions after Jamf Pro 11.3.2.

using ubuntu systemctl able to control jamf.tomcat.service

Anyone else facing this issue? Able to resolve this jamf-pro server cli issue? TIA

had same issue and create a case:CS1144771

response with solution was:

Thank you very much for getting back to me! Today, I have spent some time on replicating this in my own test environment on both Linux and Windows. Indeed, you are absolutely right, the Tomcat service name on Windows have changed to Tomcat9 whilst on Linux the service name is: jamf.tomcat.service

So the correct command to change the Tomcat service name
on Windows:
  jamf-pro config set --tomcat-service Tomcat9
On Linux:
sudo jamf-pro config set --tomcat-service jamf.tomcat.service

These still require the Server Tools 3.0.0 version.

Alternatively, if downloading the Server Tools version 3.0.0 is not an option, we can modify the tools.yaml file manually For Linux we can use nano: sudo nano /path/to/tools.yaml
For Windows we can use Wordpad to open up the file and edit the service name

The tools.yaml file can be found:
On macOS and Linux these are:
Local: $HOME/.jamf/tools.yaml
Global: /etc/jamf/tools.yaml

On Windows these are:
Local: %LOCALAPPDATA%\\Jamf\\tools.yaml
Global: %PROGRAMDATA%\\Jamf\\Tools.yaml

Once we have modified the Tomcat service path we should be good with managing the Tomcat service with the Jamf Pro server tools as well.

After upgrading to Jamf Pro 11.5.1, I too experienced the issue and had to change the service name. Additionally, I was getting an "Error: unknown flag: --tomcat-service" when I tried to reset the service name on one of my 3 JSS clusters using the new 3.1.1 server tools but was able to change it manually by editing the tools.yaml file on that one server. However, the others allowed me to change the service name using the jamf-pro CLI server tools.

I also noticed that the jamf-pro help tools no longer shows "--tomcat-service" as an option for a set flag on version 3.1.1 of the server tools.
