3. Under System Variables, click New.

You can verify this by executing %JAVA_HOME% in RUN

5. Make sure eMAM Upload Manager is running after this change

Possible issues and troubleshooting

Sometimes eMAM Upload Manager won't get started after updating the JDK. It might be referring to the old JVM.DLL. You will get an error like, Failed to load JVM DLL 'C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_221\jre\bin\server\jvm.dll', home in the Upload Manager logs files.

Please follow the below steps to fix it,
    
    a. Open Registry
    b. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\eMAMUploadManager\Parameters\Java
