Issue/Introduction
NOTE: This article only applies to the specific scenario in which an AutoSys instance was upgraded from 11.3.6 SP8 to r12.0 and was subsequently backed out by restoring the 11.3.6 SP8 AutoSys directories and 11.3.6.8 database manually.
When trying to run the upgrade a second time, the upgrade throws this message during the Installation Path section:
===========
Installation Path

Error:
[CAUAJM_E_115001] The specified installation path is already in use:
"/opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE". Specify a different path.
PRESS <ENTER> TO ACCEPT THE FOLLOWING (OK):
Cause
Taking backup of just $CASHCOMP and /opt/CA/WorkloadAutomationAE is not enough. The r12 installer determines the components installed on Linux using the rpm database. During the first upgrade from 11.3.6 SP8 to r12.0, the rpm data related to the AutoSys 11.3.6 SP8 is wiped off. This is what causes this issue.
The output of the 'lsm -l -O rpm|grep ca-waae' command on a machine where the SP8 is currently running and valid will give the output below (GOOD INSTANCE):
[[email protected] ~]# lsm -l -O rpm|grep ca-waae
RPM ca-waae-agent-helper 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-asapi 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-client 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-common 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-scheduler 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-db 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-common-cs2 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-common-cs 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-server 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-common-sac 11.3.6 linux
RPM ca-waae-base 11.3.6 linux
When you install the r12 and revert to an old backup of AutoSys and shared components, you will get no output (BAD INSTANCE):
[[email protected] ~]# lsm -l -O rpm|grep ca-waae
[[email protected] ~]#
Environment
Upgrade from 11.3.6 SP8 to 12.0
Resolution
Procedure to fix this:
1. Mount the CA WAAE r11.3.6 SP8 DVD
[[email protected] Linux]# cd /share1/UAJM/11.3.6/SP8/waae1136_unix
[[email protected] waae1136_unix]# ls -l
acknowledgements.txt
Documentation
Linux
VendorEULA.txt
version_check.sh
wa_setup.sh
2. Change dir to Linux/WorkloadAutomationAE/RPM/ in the DVD location
[[email protected] waae1136_unix]# cd Linux/WorkloadAutomationAE/RPM/
[[email protected] RPM]# ls -l
ca-waae-agent-helper-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-common-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-db-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-asapi-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-common-cs-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-scheduler-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-base-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-common-cs2-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-sdk-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-client-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-common-sac-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
ca-waae-server-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
3. Run below commands in the same order:
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-base-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-common-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-agent-helper-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-asapi-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-common-cs2-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-common-sac-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-common-cs-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-client-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-db-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-server-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
rpm -Uvh --justdb ca-waae-scheduler-11.3.6-1643.i386.rpm
You can now run the r12.0 upgrade and it will allow you to upgrade the instance with no further issue.
