HELLO,

I HAVE INSTALLED THE IGNITION IN LAPTOP AND THE GATEWAY AND DESIGNER WERE WORKING CORRECTLY. BUT RECENTLY THE DESIGNER WORKS CORRECTLY AND THE GATEWAY IS NOT STARTING UP. I HAVE REINSTALLED THE PROGRAM BUT STILL IT IS NOT STARTING UP AND IN THE WRAPPER LOG FILE A LINE HAS BEEN STATED “An illegal reflective access operation has occurred” & “Illegal reflective access by com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.util.IgnitionSocketImplFactory (file:/C:/Program%20Files/Inductive%20Automation/Ignition/lib/core/gateway/gateway-8.1.13.jar) to constructor java.net.SocksSocketImpl()”.
