SmPortal.cfg ,service section defines the services that can use SmPortal and what Agent configuration each should use.

The Services= entry contains a comma-delimited list of all services that may be used from this system.Each service is identified by a single line that define the Agent to be used by that service.

The value for the agent must correspond to an Agent name defined.

The service name for SmPortalTest is PortalTest and should already be listed in SmPortal.cfg.

Resolution:

Verify the below settings under SmPortal.cfg (<install_location>\CA\webagent\bin).

a) Agent is defined .

b) PortalTest is listed under Services.

c) An Agent that should use the service.

Example:

Agents=FPS

Services=PortalTest

PortalTest.Agent=FPS
