Troubleshooting - manual Data Collector upgrades

If the Data Collector fails after completing the previous requirements and prerequisites, perform the following:

On the Collector Server:

  1. End all running NetBackup IT Analytics-related Java processes.

  2. Start the APTARE Agent Service

  3. If the APTARE Agent Service does not continue to run, verify no NetBackup IT Analytics-related Java processes are running. If required, end all running NetBackup IT Analytics-related Java processes.

    • Restart the Collector Server, if the Java processes cannot be killed manually. Prior to restarting the server, disable the automatic start of the APTARE Agent Service.

  4. Rename <APTARE_HOME>/java to java.old.

  5. Copy <APTARE_HOME>/upgrade/staging/snapshot/java to <APTARE_HOME>/

  6. Enable the automatic start of APTARE Agent service, if you previously disabled the service.

  7. Start the APTARE Agent Service, and proceed to the Portal.
