Resolution

Follow these steps to resolve this error:

1. Copy the <BASEDIR>/smarts/rules/sp/write-process-monitoring-configuration-file.asl  file from EISM 9.0 to EISM 3.0 /opt/InCharge/ESM/local/rules/sp/write-process-monitoring-configuration-file.asl.
    
2. Run the following command on EISM 3.0: 
   
   sm_adapter -s <EISM 3.0 server Name> -Dfilename=v3process  /opt/InCharge/ESM/local/rules/sp/write-process-monitoring-configuration-file.asl
   
    
3. Once finished, copy the v3process file generated on the EISM 3.0 /opt/InCharge/ESM/local/conf/esm directory to the EISM 9.0 BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/esm directory.
    
4. Execute the following command on EISM 9.0: 
   
   sm_adapter -s <EISM 9.0 server Name> --file=BASEDIR/smarts/local/conf/esm/v3process BASEDIR/smarts/rules/sp/import_process_monitoring_configuration.asl
