    Hey Aamir,

     

    Can you hit us up with the c:\stdout.txt  file  before you close out the above?  Another one could be the NX_ROOT/log/migrat**  logs.

    It seems like SDM did not start in DBADMIN mode for whatever reason, and that's why it failed.

     

    One last item maybe... before we go the route of getting a support case for this.

     

    Upload the latest std logs / checkdb.log  from NX_ROOT/log    Maybe that'll give some clues

     

    Thx

    Check  c:\windows\paradigm.in file.

     

    it should be some thing like this  (in your case e:/... )

     

    [PARADIGM]
    NX_ROOT=C:/PROGRA~2/CA/SERVIC~1
    NX_LOCAL=C:/PROGRA~2/CA/SERVIC~1

    NX_OS_TYPE=WINNT
    [Product]
    type=CA Service Desk Manager
    version=14.1.0.111

     

    I think you have it set as:   E:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SERVIC~1   in the above file.  Can you confirm?

     

    The reason why i say it is this in the stdlogs : 

     

    10/27 14:21:03.86 gbb-casdmdev-0 pdm_d_mgr 1340 EXIT mgr_os_if.c 2458 : Could not execute command: E:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SERVIC~1\bin\pdm_d_mgr.exe -w -m E:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SERVIC~1\site\r17_0_pdm_startup.dat error: 193
    10/27 14:21:20.65 gbb-casdmdev-0 pdm_d_mgr 1552 EXIT mgr_os_if.c 2458 : Could not execute command: E:\Program Files (x86)\CA\SERVIC~1\bin\pdm_d_mgr.exe -w -c -s DBADMIN error: 193
    10/27 14:21:23.99 gbb-casdmdev-0 pdm_perl 1668 SIGNIFICANT migrate_common.pm 205 ERROR: Problem starting services.
    10/27 14:21:23.99 gbb-casdmdev-0 pdm_perl 1668 SIGNIFICANT migrate_common.pm 205 Check the migration log file in $NX_ROOT\log, and the mdb install log in $NX_ROOT\temp for errors. Correct the errors and restart this process.

     

     

    Thx

    Hi Aamir,

     

    You need to set your paradigm.ini file to have the complete short name for the service desk directory:

     

    For Example:

     

    [PARADIGM]
    NX_ROOT=E:/PROGRA~2/CA/SERVIC~1
    NX_LOCAL=E:/PROGRA~2/CA/SERVIC~1
    NX_OS_TYPE=WINNT
    [Product]
    type=CA Service Desk Manager
    version=14.1.0.111


    NOTE: if you have ONLY the "Program Files (x86)" and not "Program Files" in the E drive, then the short name for "Program Files (x86)" might be "PROGRA~1"

     

    Navigate to E:\   then run "dir /x" and it will show you the short name for all directories... see if its PROGRA~1 or PROGRA~2.

     

    Then re-run pdm_configure.

     

    I also updated jimka01 who owns your case so he has the same info.

     

    Hope this helps, let us know.

    Jon I.

    As a note, the 17.0 documentation specifies that 8.3 notation (8dot3) is required for SDM installations:

    Thanks David-Ng!

    @La-Qa - Were you able to make that change and try to run configure again?

    Thanks Paul - I believe that Aamir had tried that already as David had posted that earlier. 

    @Aamir - are you sure that 8dot3 was turned on BEFORE SDM was installed and not after?   If it was turned on after, then a complete uninstall and reinstall of the product would be required. 

    8dot3 not being on to start with prior to the original installation would definitely cause this problem to occur and is really the only likely cause here.

    I would recommend at this point that you open a CA Support Case for this so that an engineer can dig into it further with you.

    Thanks!

    Jon I.

    I do not understand why you keep insisting no help is been offered when you are not responding on the ticket:

    Hi Ayodeji 

     

    Kindly confirm if you have followed the instructions as show below: 

     

    You need to set your paradigm.ini file to have the complete short name for the service desk directory: 

     

    For Example: 

     

    [PARADIGM] 
    NX_ROOT=E:/PROGRA~2/CA/SERVIC~1 
    NX_LOCAL=E:/PROGRA~2/CA/SERVIC~1 
    NX_OS_TYPE=WINNT 
    [Product] 
    type=CA Service Desk Manager 
    version=14.1.0.111 

     

    NOTE: if you have ONLY the "Program Files (x86)" and not "Program Files" in the E drive, then the short name for "Program Files (x86)" might be "PROGRA~1" 

     

    Navigate to E:\ then run "dir /x" and it will show you the short name for all directories... see if its PROGRA~1 or PROGRA~2. 

     

    Then re-run pdm_configure. 

     

    In addition to the notes about 8.3 notation (8dot3) is required for SDM installations:

    Hello Jimka

    Sorry for the words but I just changed nx root and nx local to PROGR~2 as

    it was previously Program Files (x86) and save the file and re run

    setup..migration is now successful..

     

    many thanks.
