Environment
ZENworks Configuration Management 2017
Situation
After upgrading primary appliance to 2017 duplicate jars remain in some folders. When duplicate jars exist in a class path, a variety of problems can be seen randomly.
May affect Patch Management in ZCC:
/opt/novell/zenworks/share/tomcat/webapps/zenworks/WEB-INF/lib
zpm-ui-11.4.jar
zpm-ui-17.0.jar
May affect security policy in ZCC:
/opt/novell/zenworks/share/tomcat/webapps/zenworks/WEB-INF/
libsecurity-policies-commonui-11.4.0.jar
security-policies-commonui-17.0.0.jar
May affect agent:
/opt/novell/zenworks/zmd/java/lib/plugins folder contains jars with 17.0.0 in the name and also the same named jar with 11.4.x
zac agp may show improper version:
Patch Management 17.0.0.737 Enabled
Remote Management 17.0.0 Enabled
Bundle Management 11.4.3 Enabled
Policy Management 17.0.0 Enabled
Inventory Management 17.0.0 Enabled
Resolution
Stop the ZENworks services.
Move the older versions of the duplicate jar out of the ZENworks folders.
Note that a jar with the same name one having 17 is newer for version 2017 than the older with 11.4 in the name.
Ensure that there is a duplicate. Restart the ZENworks services.
Note: For agent jars, stop and start the xplat agent with --osgiclean.
Status
Reported to EngineeringAdditional Information
Note: The symptoms may vary due to the way the jars are loaded, whether the older or newer jar is actually loaded into the jvm at runtime.
