Environment

Release : 12.3

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Resolution

The  value1 for "PATH" key in the UC_UTILITY_ARCHIVE is set to an invalid path. The VARA object is by default empty.  It should also be double-checked that the path is correct.

This can also be updated in the ucybdbarg.exe (archive gui)
