Environment

Service Operations Insight (SOI) Manager -  4.2

Cause

This is due to compatibility issue between OracleJRE in APM agent and OpenJRE in SOI patch, hence the patch installation fails

Resolution

1) Back up your current \CA\SOI\ folder on your SOI UI and SOI manager server

2) Go to \CA\SOI\jsw\conf folder on SOI manager machine and edit the following files

    - SAM-IntegrationService.conf and soi-manager.conf file
 
    - Go to the following lines and comment them out (add a # sign in front of the lines)
 
       wrapper.java.additional.30=-javaagent:D:/CA/wily/Agent.jar
       wrapper.java.additional.31=-Dcom.wily.introscope.agentProfile=D:/CA/wily/core/config/IntroscopeAgent.profile
       wrapper.java.additional.32=-Dcom.wily.introscope.agent.agentName=JGAPPCASOI1PV-SOI-SAMIntegration
 
3) Save these files
 
4) On "SOI UI" server, find the \CA\SOI\jsw\conf\soi-user-interface.conf and search for the same above lines to see if they exist, if so then comment them out as well and save the file.

This allows you to install SOI SO09444 patch as we detach EPA agent from SOI configuration files.
