Centralized agent update fails because the temporary backup directory is too small
You are centrally updating dynamic agents or fault-tolerant agents but the backup directory used is too small, and the agent installation fails.
Cause and solution
The centralized agent update fails because the backup directory, by default
/tmp, does not have enough space. You can set a different directory by performing
the following steps:
- On the master domain manager workstation, go to
the directory where you downloaded the fix pack installation package, or the eImage that you want to
install on the agent. The default directory value is:
- On Windows operating systems:
- <TWA_home>\TWS\depot\agent
- On UNIX operating systems:
- <TWA_home>/TWS/depot/agent
- Edit the following script:
- On Windows operating systems:
- <TWA_home>\TWS\depot\agent\TWS1020_agent_platform_AGENT.zip\self\selfupdate.wsf
- On UNIX operating systems:
- <TWA_home>/TWS/depot/agent/TWS1020_agent_platform_AGENT.zip/self/selfupdate.sh
- In the selfupdate script, locate the BACKUP_DIR variable and replace the value to the directory you want to use as backup.
Note: This directory will be removed at the end of the installation.
