Resolution

1.   In Patch manager Under Administration -> Manager  This is the UserName and Password that connect UPM to DSM EXplorer

  a. Check the User Name and Password are Correct. 

  b. Verify that User ID has rights to connect to DSM and create SD Packages.

  c.  Make sure the Password is correct, or Change  the user ID you used to login to OS and  WAC console 

 

  

2. Add the UserID in ITCM\Security profile and Assign  Full Class Permissions 

 

3. From command prompt , run the following:

4.  Change Patch status back to Pending user Acceptance by using SQL Queries:

For All Versions prior to R14: 

use mdb

UPDATE ca_install_package SET status=3 WHERE status = 8
