Multiple modifications to the Service Manager Dialog entries will cause the "uc4.smd" file to become corrupted.

The Service Manager will be impacted the next time it is stopped and started.  The CPs and WPs will not start due to no primary work process (PWP) being registered in the database.

 

SET-PROCESS-DATA-V2 command to ServiceManager contains new path:

20180613/171914.377 - Command: SET-PROCESS-DATA-V2

Looks like Service Manager is making some wrong changes in the smd file.

Release: AUTWAB99000-12.1-Automic Workload Automation-Base Edition
Component:

Upgrade Service Manager to one of the following fixed versions:

Automation Engine 12.3.0 - planned release 3/26/2018
Automation Engine 12.2.1 - planned release 10/23/2018
Automation Engine 12.1.3 - planned release 9/24/2018
Automation Engine 12.0.6 - planned release 9/10/2018

Workaround:
Create a backup of the working smd file.  Use the backup file as a restoration point whenever the smd becomes corrupted.
