Issue/Introduction

The SSO service (caperfcenter_sso) on a backup Performance Center Portal install fails to start post upgrade.

A script is run which automates the Disaster Recovery steps, copying configuration files from working production system to backup system.

After this the following error is seen in the SSO service wrapper-<date>.log file.

Environment

All supported DX NetOps Performance Management releases

Cause

Custom script backed up and copied an older wrapper.conf file with old license information.

Resolution

To fix the immediate issue of failing services copy the SSO service wrapper.conf file from the working production system to the broken backup system.

To fix the long term issue of the script failing to copy the correct file, independent investigation will be necessary to determine and resolve the issue it has that causes this problem. Until the script issue is resolved it may be worth following the documented manual process.
