Environment

NetIQ Aegis 2.x

Situation

After updating one of the Aegis Adapters, the Activities for that Adapter are missing from the Aegis Configuration Console.

Resolution

To correct this issue, you must manually re-submit the .MOF files for the affected Adapter.  Each Adapter has two .MOF files, and it is critical that they be re-applied in the correct order.  To re-submit the .MOF files for an Adapter (using the AppManager Adapter as an example):

  1. Login to the Aegis server using the Aegis service account and then open a command prompt (for Win 2008/2008 R2, run the prompt "As Administrator") and change directories to the ..\NetIQ\Aegis\IQConnect73\bin directory.

  2. Run the following command in order to load the Chunk file for the affected Adapter (important that Chunk file be re-appied first):

    mof_loader.exe -f -ntdomain "NT_DOMAIN" -ntuser "NT_USER" -ntpassword "NT_PASSWORD" -connect "TARGET_SERVER:2219" -pwd "test" -d ..\mof -in "..\mof\NetIQ AppManager (NetIQ)Chunk.mof"

    Where:
    NT_DOMAIN = Aegis service account domain
    NT_USER = Aegis service account
    NT_PASSWORD= password of the Aegis service account
    TARGET_SERVER = Aegis server FQDN

  3. Now run the following command to load the Activity Library:

    mof_loader.exe -f -ntdomain "NT_DOMAIN" -ntuser "NT_USER" -ntpassword "NT_PASSWORD" -connect "TARGET_SERVER:2219" -pwd "test" -d ..\mof -in "..\mof\AppManager Activities Library.mof"

    Where:
    NT_DOMAIN = Aegis service account domain
    NT_USER = Aegis service account
    NT_PASSWORD= password of the Aegis service account
    TARGET_SERVER = Aegis server FQDN

  4. Once these 2 commands succeed, you need to restart any open instances of the Aegis Config Console and you should then once again see the IQAM activity library.
