Environment

Release : 11.3.6

Component : CA Workload Automation AE (AutoSys)

Cause

This problem occurs when the new Windows version does not have 8dot3 naming enabled and there are references in some of the igateway configuration files to paths using the 8dot3 naming.

Resolution

Stop the iTechnology service

Modify the following configuration files within the C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\iTechnology directory...

igateway.conf
Spin.conf
iPoz.conf

Locate any path in these files that is using the 8dot3 naming and replace it with the full directory name. For example...

C:\PROGRA~2\CA\SC\EmbeddedEntitlementsManager

should be changed to...

C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SC\EmbeddedEntitlementsManager
