Environment

Any version of ADE

Cause

There is a local file system H2 database that has corrupted and preventing ADE from starting

Resolution

1. Deactivate ADE probe
2. Go to the ade probe folder, here is an example file location for windows: C:\Program Files (x86)\Nimsoft\probes\service\automated_deployment_engine
3. Find the file automated_deployment_engine.mv.db
4. Rename the file to automated_deployment_engine.mv.db.old
5. Restart the ADE probe
