Hi, The first step should

Hi,

The first step should always be to check the scm-server-0.log file in the sepm\tomcat\logs folder.

Also check the catalina.out logfile. It may contain info if there is a port conflict on the server.

In the scm-server-0.log, you will find the error in the line, just before the indentation changes!! 

Also, f you have upgraded the SEPM, then you will have upgrade.log . That log is extremely useful in case of troubleshooting Java 01 in SEP SBE 12

Please post the error message from the logs above, and then we can decide the steps ahead.

Cheers,
Aniket

Aniket is right...

Check the scm-server-0.log for Http error 503

Another test is to access http://localhost:8014/Reporting or http://localhost:8014/secars/secars?hello,secars  Through Internet Explorer and see if it gives you a "Service Unavailable" error.

And a third test to check is if there are any errors in the Event Viewer related to rpcproxy.dll.

If you find the issues above, the most likely problem is that the Default Application Pool is not starting.
