not able to start the WAAE Webserver after R12 upgrade from 11.3.6 SP7

Products

• Autosys Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

I was able to run the autosys installer with a warning as stated below. After that I am not able to start the WAAE Webserver. I have attached the installer log files.

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component :

Cause

There are no logs created.

The /webserver/bin files seems to be very old.

The Apache tomat version is 8.5 

Reviewed the  cawa_installer.log 

It appears that services were not shutdown  before upgrade. 

WAAE Web Server (ACE)                   14449  running

WAAE Application Server (ACE)           16422  running

 WAAE Scheduler (ACE)                    16606  running

WAAE Agent (WA_AGENT)                   13404  running

It managed to kill the other services but the Web server

The webserver shpwed that it stopped fine

2022-08-25 12:32:11,670 [main] INFO  com.ca.wla.ae.installer.util.CommandUtil - Read output stream = Stopping waae_webserver.ACE (via systemctl):  [  OK  ]
2022-08-25 12:32:11,678 [main] INFO  com.ca.wla.ae.installer.util.CommandUtil - Read output stream = Executed waae_webserver.ACE stop.................................OK

But I guess this caused the files to be not copied properly and it did not startup after the upgrade

Resolution

Reverted the VM snapshot and made sure the services has been stopped properly.

After doing so the upgrade ran successfully. The services were started manually and they are running.
