Troubleshooting an interruption to installation
While installing Smart IT, the AR attachment security remains disabled. In case of interruption (For example, system crash, power failure etc.) in installation process, you need to manually enable the security if it was enabled while initiating the installation. You can set the value of Attachment-Ext-Filter parameter to 1 in the CCS form.
Alternatively, you can follow these steps to manually enable the security:
- In ITSM, select AR System Administration Console from the AR System Administration application.
- From General, select Server Information
- Click Attachment Security tab.
- Select the Allow attachment with following extensions option in the Attachment criteria and provide the file extensions.
Deployment package failure
If Smart IT file deployer is unable to register the Service with AR, and gets ARERR 90 while making Service UP, the D2P package deployment will not be successful. You need to restart the Smart IT file deployer service for making the deployment work.
