Environment

 Watch4net|M&R - 7.x

Cause

There was no enough space in /tmp directory for Manager-Module to upgrade

Resolution

1. Either you increase the space for /tmp directory

OR

2. Create a /tmp directory with the enough space and then edit the launch-manager.sh configuration file

path  <Base dir APG>/Tools/Module-Manager/1.16.9/bin/launch-manager.sh 

from: if [ z "${_workdir}" ]; then _workdir=${TMPDIR:/tmp}/APG-Module-Manager-${RANDOM}; fi

to: if [ z "${_workdir}" ]; then _workdir=${TMPDIR:<path where the /tmp dir is created with enough space>}/APG-Module-Manager-${RANDOM}; fi

 

e.g.  /opt/tmp (enough space is available).
