To correct the problem perform the following steps
- deactivated wasp
- renamed the following folders:
\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\work folder to work.bak
\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\ROOT folder to ROOT.bak
\Nimsoft\probes\service\wasp\webapps\usm folder to usm.bak
Note: If changes have been made to the liferay's portal-ext.properties file the file will need to be copied back to the
wasp\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\classes folder after the wasp probe activates (then restart wasp a second time)
