Environment
Release : 9.2, 9.3
Component : API GATEWAY
Resolution
First from the ssgconfig menu choose
3) Privileged shell
Then check disk space below,
# df -h
You want to be sure you have plenty of space in most mounts including /opt /tmp /var and /home.
Second, another common scenario for failure is stopping the gateway. Patches are uploaded by default to the gateways parent process sspc (controller.jar). You should
not stop the gateway before applying a patch.
Third, logging for this menu (more detailed failures) are usually listed in the process controller log. which can be viewed at,
/opt/SecureSpan/Controller/var/logs/sspc_0_0.log
This will usually have details on the patch application and at times rpm packager errors (and disk space check failures).
For problems not covered in this document you should open a support case for review and provide a df -h and a copy of the sspc_0_0.log
