AR System data import (ARX) failure or warnings.

Note: You can run the Data import command line after installation to fix data import warnings. See Data Import command-line utility options Open link . For previous versions of AR System, look for the corresponding version in that topic.



Apache Tomcat startup warnings and the BMC Digital Workplace applications are not getting loaded.

After the installation is complete, stop and restart Apache Tomcat.

BMC Digital Workplace database and AR System errors occurred during upgrade.

If you do not have the BMC Digital Workplace and AR System database backup, contact BMC Support.

Installation of the ITSM Integration patch, as a non-root user on a Linux computer, fails if Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled.

By default, if SELinux is enabled, you cannot run any binary from /tmp directory. So, when SELinux is enabled, the installer cannot run the /tmp/Utilities/Rik/driver.exe file, and you get a permission-denied error.

Before you install the UX patch, use one of the following workarounds:

  • Disable SELinux.
  • If you want to keep SELinux enabled, point the IATEMPDIR variable to a directory other than /tmp directory.
