A week ago, I successfully installed UPD5 to Apps 10 in my DEV environment with only one error reported in the installer.log and no errors reported in the IFSDEV10_configuration.log. Yesterday, I ran the UPD5 against my MGR environment and it reported a “partial Failure” with the following error in IFSMGR10_configuration.log

 

2019-10-17 17:51:59 Running ant script E:\ifs\mws\ifsmgr10\repository\server\install_fndmws.xml, target post for component server

[java]: Java Result: 1

Error in Ant-script: server\install_fndmws.xml

Reported error is: The following error occurred while executing this line:

E:\ifs\mws\ifsmgr10\repository\server\install_fndmws.xml:237: Failed to install Middelware Server! Error is: Call to stopAllServers not successful.

Failures detected when updating IFS Middleware Home, see logs for more details.

 

Has anyone else seen this particular error? I am able to successfully stop and start the middleware instance for this environment, we can login to MGR with no errors, but I am still worried about the error reported.

Hi,

 

If you have tried this only once, check whether it will be resolved in the second attempt. If that is the case it should be a temporary error that installer could not stop the servers.

 

Also make sure you start installer as Run as administrator, stop all managed servers just before you click on execute and server has enough physical memory available (3-5 gb).

Yes, this mirrors the exact process that I followed (for both instances). We have more than enough RAM, plenty of disk space. Are you suggesting to restart the installer and re-apply UPD5?

yes, that might allow you to get it through if the initial failure is temporary.

You may also try doing a reconfiguration. Since this is an issue in the middle tier you are better off not spending time deploying database objects which comes with the UPD.

Are you running anti-malware? In Apps 9, I've found the Ant scripts fail when they try to remove folders because Mcafee tends to lock files aggressively to scan them. My work-around was to edit the Ant scripts and add a retry clause to each of the file removal steps.
