Symptom
You are working with SAP Process Integration / SAP Process Orchestration running on a release lower than 7.5 (for example 7.4, 7.31, 7.3)
You have recently updated your system to one of the latest Support Packages available for such release and also applied the latest patch levels available for all the components.
However after that, the Enterprise Service Repository (ESR) fails to launch and the following error is visible in the Java Logs*:
ERROR com.sap.aii.utilxi.swing.toolkit.ExceptionDialog: MessageID=IBF.lib_gui.005265#Failed to initialize Exception Dialog
