Hi Everyone,

The command "service clone app" fails on 15.3 Patch 2.

As a workaround, I edit $NIKU_HOME/config/hosts.xml and $NIKU_HOME/config/properties.xml

Is this issue is going to be fixed soon ?

Thx,

David

Hi David 

I tried cloning the app in 15.2 patch 6 and I was able to do it 

Hi Again,

Same error on 15.4 (no patch).

I'm leaving attached the properties.xml for 15.4.

For info, I have created the case 01010694.

Regards,

David

Hi,

We are also facing the same issue on 15.4 for clone app.

@David - Did you hear back from support on this issue. What is the workaround/solution for this one.

Hi Abhijit/ David,

This was logged as defect DE40475 'service clone app' fails java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

Affecting 15.3 and 15.4 and fixed in 15.4.1

To workaround the issue please do the following, I just tested it successfully:

1. Open the $cappm/config/hosts.xml

Copy the line corresponding to app hosts accordingly:

Instead of:

    <service id="app" serviceType="app" active="true"/>

Add another entry for app2:

                 <service id="app" serviceType="app" active="true"/>

                <service id="app2" serviceType="app" active="true"/>

Save the file.

2. Now run: service status all

Service deploy start app2

This should resolve the issue for now until you upgrade.

Please let me know for any questions -Nika

Hello Nika,

Thanks for sharing workaround.

But it did not work. I edited file as per instructions but it does not create executable service.

Attached is the screenshot.

Hello,

You also need to edit manually $NIKU_HOME/config/properties.xml. Copy-paste following nodes :

- applicationServer/applicationServerInstance[@id='app'] and change properties id to app2 and rmiPort to a unique value (from 23791 to 23793 for instance), be sure it is not in conflict with csa service

- webServer/webServerInstance[@id='app'] and change properties id to app2 and port, connectorPort to a unique value

With the change made on $NIKU_HOME/config/hosts.xml, it should work after deploy :

service add deploy start all

Regards,

David

Thanks for adding that David, yes, looks like this part is also not being added and has to be done manually.

Thanks David.  

This will help in our upgrade as well.

Thank you David! After doing that property part it worked fine.

Thank you Nika for your help on this.

Kind Regards,

Abhijit
