Unable to open initial directory of the remote agent in Harvest Workbench

Products

• CA Harvest Software Change Manager - OpenMake Meister

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.
