Issue/Introduction
In Workbench, I created an agent connection to a remote Linux computer. Most all of the folders on the agent connection will open with no problems, but with one of the folders I am receiving the following message: "An error occurred. See error log for more details. Comparison method violates its general contract!"
Environment
CA Harvest SCM 12.x and up Windows client machine
Resolution
Make sure the below option is added after -vmargs params, better add it to the end. Edit your %CA_SCM_HOME%\workbench.ini file and make sure this line has been added in as the last line of the file:
-Djava.util.Arrays.useLegacyMergeSort=true
Generally the arguments passed after -vmargs only will be considered for processing. I suspect that this option was added before -vmargs and hence the problem.
