I just upgraded a client from 9.5 to 9.6. I have run into an issue with creating new Advance Agents.
Selecting Advance Agent, the process has failed about 6 times. On each attempt, I rename the log file and run the process again. Comparing log files, I cannot find a consistent failure point. It will always fail when adding a particular file, but the files change from one log to the other. In some log files, the file that failed on a previous attempt was successful, only to fail on a different file. On the 7th try or so, I successfully created an advance agent - not having changed anything on the core or in the agent itself. It just worked. I attempted to create another advance agent for a different config, it failed with the same issues. 3 tries later, it works. This appears to be a file contention or resource issue. What exactly do you think is happening? Is it because the files are in use at the exact time that I am creating an advance agent? Are auto updates occurring on existing agents in the field that might cause file contention issues with creating an advance agent? Is this to be expected during this auto agent update period?
What say you?
Any and all ideas are welcome.
Thank you.
