Subject: Upgrade - 7.0.1 to 7.6.04 - problems
**
All,
We're running a home-grown incident management application on ARS7.0.1, and to
keep on a supported platform decided to look into migrating the server to
7.6.04. All running on Solaris with Oracle 10g on the backend.
We have 5 test environments, so far have upgraded 3 without any issues - all
interfaces (and we have lots!) worked without any issues. Stupid amount of
regression testing, no issues found.
We had an outage slot agreed with the business (8 hours) and ran through the
live system upgrade. Note that this is a load balanced environment
(active-active, shared database).
Put servers into admin mode, restart one (shut down the other). We didn't take
them out of server group mode (which I'm starting to think was a mistake).
Upgrade "ran" through (it takes 4 hours per server), then towards the end it
claimed it had failed. Yet the AR Services were running.
What wasn't working? Plugin server (and therefore a lot of our interfaces).
Couldn't diagnose the fault at the time (this was at around 3am on a saturday
night), had to roll back (thankfully the 7.0.1 installer took 3 minutes, and
Oracle could be repointed to its backup database).
When we tried to invoke a web service, we received an ARERR 9130 Invalid number
of parameters for Web Service call : 9130
The web services and code that we had in place was unchanged, and the same code
base had worked without any problems on all of our test environments.
The installation log had only one obvious error :
LOG EVENT {Description=[Failed to execute createARuser],Detail=[Action
Request System Access Cache Manager Version 7.6.04 Build 002 201101141059

And yes, we have plenty of licenses ..... and yes, I realise that the licensing
system has changed between 7.0.1 and 7.6.04.
Any ideas as to the possible cause?
