Issue/Introduction

ENWSIns.sh script fails with the following message, how to fix the issue ?
 

[2018-07-27 14:27:28] Checking ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR ......................................... [FAILED]
  > File EndevorService_lib.tar does not exist!
  > File EndevorService.war does not exist!

Environment

Release: CA Endevor Software Change Manager 18.0, 18.1
Component: Endevor Web Services

Resolution

ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR is defined in the ENWSInstallOptions.properties, this parameter points to the path where CA Endevor SCM product installed. This path should contain two folders: software and tpv (for V18.0)/CA (for V18.1)
For example: 
ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR="/path/to/endevor/v18/ESCM"

Both EndevorService_lib.tar and EndevorService.war resides in $ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR/tpv/tomcat

Restore ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR from the backup,  then rerun the install installation script ENWSIns.sh. 







 

Additional Information

The reason why both EndevorService_lib.tar and EndevorService.war are missing from $ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR/tpv/tomcat is due to the wrong ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE setting in the ENWSInstallOptions.properties

Customer has the following settings: 
$ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE=$ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR/tpv/tomcat
CLEAN_ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE=Y

With CLEAN_ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE set to Y, the ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE location will be cleared (rm -rf $ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE) if the directory already exist. 
And since $ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE=$ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR/tpv/tomcat
$ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR/tpv/tomcat and all it's contents including EndevorService_lib.tar and EndevorService.war are deleted. 

The purpose of setting CLEAN_ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE set to Y is to allow customer run installation script multiple times and get clean install each time,  $ENDEVOR_TOMCAT_INSTANCE can point to anywhere except $ENDEVOR_SOFTWARE_DIR/tpv/tomcat.
