<Please see attached file for image>

 

The uimserver_ia_install.log reports the below Exception:

(this error continues in loop)

 

Environment: 

 

CA UIM 8.1 upgrade to CA UIM 8.4

Windows 2008 r2

MS SQL DB 2008 r2 

 

Cause:

 

The errors in the log point to an issue with the automated_deployment_engine which is giving an error in a loop in the install log.

 

Resolution

 

To resolve this issue follow these steps:

 

First cancel the current upgrade attempt.

 

1. Make sure that the Nimsoft Service is ON in the Primary Hub

2. Deactivate automated_deployment_engine.

3. Go into /Nimsoft/probes/service/automated_deployment_engine/

4. Backup this folder to your desktop before continuing!

5. Delete the database files (automated_deployment_engine.h2, automated_deployment_engine.lock)

6. Delete all files IN ade_package_temp AND ade_xml_temp folders.

7. Activate ADE.

 

Now re-run the install and the install will complete successfully
