#4194 [HHQ-4056] Custom changes made to wrapper.conf are not persi

[Hyperic Team]

http://jira.hyperic.com/browse/HHQ-4056
Custom changes made to wrapper.conf are not persisted when agent upgraded.

When updates to additional java parameters, logging properties or windows properties are made within the wrapper.conf within an agent bundle (i.e. C:\hq\hyperic-hq-agent-4.4.0-EE\bundles\agent-4.4.0-EE-1462\conf), the changes are not persisted and maintained when an agent is upgraded via the HQ UI.

Since the wrapper.conf is located in the bundle, the updated bundle is deployed with it's own wrapper.conf.

After the bundled is copied, the upgrade process restarts the agent.

If a change was made to the Name of the service for the Wrapper Windows NT/2000/XP Service Properties, the result will show the service is not installed.

This may also cause two agents getting registered on the same port to one HQ server.

Expected Result:


The agent upgrade should complete successfully and maintain changes made to the previous bundle.

Actual Result:


Changes made to the wrapper.conf are not maintained when the agent is upgraded.

Steps to reproduce:


1. Install and configure an agent to a HQ server


2. Log into HQ Server and Browse Resource


3. Select the platform of the server with an agent installed


4. Select the hq-agent link from within the Deployed Servers Health


5. Go to the Views tab


6. Click the Agent Commands button


7. Select upgrade from the drop-down list of Execute Command


8. Select the agent bundle version to upgrade (if more than two)


9. Click the Execute button


10. Examine the agent.log on the agent machine


11. Note the custom changes made to the wrapper.conf are not persisted

Work around:


1. Manually copy the wrapper.conf from the previous bundle into the new bundle


2. Restart the agent

Additional Notes:


If changes made to the Name of the service for the Wrapper Windows NT/2000/XP Service Properties, may need to uninstall service and reinstall
