Issue/Introduction

When trying to upgrade Policy Server version from 12.51 to 12.7, this process failed because of missing parameter value as following.

Where does InstallAnywhere get this parameter from ?

Resolution

The Policy Server installer get the 'USER_MAGIC_FOLDER_1' and 'EXISTING_LOCATION' from the Installanywhere registry file. I assume that in the customer environment the file might be missing or corrupted.

 

Regarding the technical details

 

The Installanywhere file is ".com.zerog.registry.xml" and is stored in

    $HOME/.com.zerog.registry.xml for non root user

    /var/.com.zerog.registry.xml for root user

 

and it has the below type of details
