You might receive the following error:

Caused by: (80) Session error, Unable to open a client session for xxxxxxxxxxx:48000: Connection refused: connect

After deployment ADE is trying to verify that the robot is up and running by connecting to port 48000 for the controller and failing.

Environment

Release:
Component: UIMADE

Resolution

The Automatic Deployment Engine has a setting that can be changed to allow for a delay before testing if the robot is up and running.

This can be set in automated_deployment_engine.cfg like this :

<automated_deployment_engine>
verify_delay = 200
</automated_deployment_engine>

This should be done on the Automatic Deployment Engine deploying the robot.
