Satya,

the environment is NOT a copy or clone of another environment. The servgrp... 
Tables don’t exist.

I did a clean start with deleting logs etc few times already. Nothing new. Same 
stuff in the logs.

I would appreciate if you could review my armonitor.conf and 
ARSystemInstalledConfiguration.xml Maybe you see something’s I don’t.

Apart from that I have no idea what else I can do. Even worse neither does BMC!

They‘ve been discussing the matter internally since a couple of days but didn’t 
approach us with a single suggestion.

When this happens (and this is how BMC support in India works 99.9% of time), 
they usually wait two weeks and send me a question whether the problem still 
persists. How ridiculous is that!
