Issue/Introduction

Our fault-tolerant Data Aggregator will not start after upgrading

 

The following error is noted in the consul-ext.log:

ERROR: Database config file not found at /opt/IMDataAggregator/config/dbconnection.cfg

 

Environment

25.4.3.8

ONLY seen in a fault-tolerant Data Aggregator Pair

Cause

The out of the box reference for the dbconnection.cfg is incorrect

Resolution

Resolution:

This will be fixed in the DA 25.4.3.10+ release

Workaround for those running the DA 25.4.3.8 release:

This will need to be done on both Data Aggregator hosts

1. 1. Edit <install_dir>/IMDataAggregator/consul-ext/scripts/startDA.groovy
   2. On line 184, make the following modification:  
      • From:
        
        def File dbPropsFile = new File( daHome + "/config/dbconnection.cfg" )
        
        
      • To: 
        
        def File dbPropsFile = new File( daHome + "/apache-karaf/etc/dbconnection.cfg" )
        
        
   3. Restart consul-ext service
      • systemctl restart consul-ext
