Troubleshooting Instance Migrations
This section describes common problems that you might encounter as you migrate PPM instances.
If you cannot start the PPM Server, check the serverLog.txt file (located in the <PPM_Home>/server/<PPM Server>/logs directory) for error messages. If the serverLog.txt file contains no error messages, increase the server debug level to determine whether any additional helpful information is written to the log.
To increase the server debug level:
-
Open the
logging.conffile (located in the<PPM_Home>/confdirectory) in a text editor. -
Set the value of the
SERVER_DEBUG_LEVELparameter toHIGH,and then save and close thelogging.conffile. -
Run the
kUpdateHtml.shscript. -
Rerun the
kStart.shscript, and then recheck theserverLog.txtfile to determine whether it contains any additional information. -
Open the
logging.conffile. -
Restore the default value of the
SERVER_DEBUG_LEVELparameter.Note: Restoring the default value ensures that the file system does fill up with unnecessary information recorded in the
serverLog.txtfile(s). -
Run the
kUpdateHtml.shscript.
If the Web browser accessing the PPM URL generates a "Not Found" or an "Access Denied" error, check the server.conf file and the external Web server (if one exists) to ensure that the PPM Server installation directory is specified correctly.
If the PPM Server has recently been upgraded and the URL has changed, make sure that any saved links to the previous PPM URL (for example, existing requests) are updated to point to the new URL.
