Description

Original: When attempting to upgrade from 2.319.3 to 2.332.1, the updated version of Jenkins is not using the JENKINS_HOME value set in conf/context.xml. <Context>  <Environment name="JENKINS_HOME" value="C:\path_to_jenkins_home" type="java.lang.String"/>  ... </Context> Instead, the default and initial value of JENKINS_HOME is being used (C:\users\someUser\.jenkins) There is a need to use a different setting in the servlet.

New: When attempting to upgrade from 2.319.3 to 2.332.1, the updated version of Jenkins is not using the JENKINS_HOME value set in conf/context.xml.  The instance is running as a Windows service using Apache Tomcat 9. <Context>  <Environment name="JENKINS_HOME" value="C:\path_to_jenkins_home" type="java.lang.String"/>  ...  </Context> Instead, the default and initial value of JENKINS_HOME is being used (C:\users\someUser\.jenkins) There is a need to use a different setting in the servlet.

JNDI support was removed in jenkinsci/jenkins#6111, which I'm guessing is your problem here. You can instead use a Java system property (e.g. -DJENKINS_HOME=/path/to/home) (which you can set for Tomcat in the CATALINA_OPTS environment variable) or an environment variable of JENKINS_HOME).

Worked as stated, added -DJENKINS_HOME=C:\some_path_to_jenkins in Java Options.  I would still be struggling to put this together without your assistance.  Thank you very much.
