Issue:

There is a defect in NFA 9.2.1 only where if the Poller service tries to delete a device that does not have SNMP data, it hangs the Poller and Collector Web Service on the Harvester.  This will cause some syncing between the Poller and Reporter database not function.

This issue will give us a Null Pointer error like this (netflow/logs/CollPollWS-wrapper.log):

Patch File:

Null Pointer & ifType-Rejection.zip

 

To Apply:

  1. Stop all Java services on harvester (CA NFA Services).
  2. Rename netflow/bin/com.ca.im.ra.poller to com.ca.im.ra.poller-old.jar and the netflow/bin/com.ca.im.ra.harvester to com.ca.im.ra.harvester-old.jar
  3. Copy the new com.ca.im.ra.poller.jar and com.ca.im.ra.harvester.jar file in.
  4. Start all of the services back up.
