Troubleshooting

Installation

There is no standalone ZIP installtion for OSX or Windows.

Cause	From version 2.0 standalone ZIP installations have been deprecated from Mission Control.
Resolution	For a full list of installation options, please refer Installation and Upgrade

Disaster Recovery

DR fails when the DR master Artifactory service uses Master Key Encryption.

Cause	The DR target is not able to decrypt passwords since it does not have the same Master Key as the DR Master service.
Resolution	Sync over the Artifactory Master Key from the DR Master to your Target Artifactory service. This will allow all passwords to he properly decrypted once your security settings are replicated to the Target. For details, please refer to Master Key Encryption in the JFrog Artifactory User Guide.

Scripting

Configuration scripts are not working at all.

Cause	In version 2.0, Mission Control made significant changes in how configuration scripts are written. These changes are not backwards compatible, so any scripts written for Mission Control version 1.x will not work. For details, please refer to Configuration Scripts. <TBD update link>.
Resolution	You need to migrate your scripts to work with Mission Control 2.0 and above. While the migration process is not automatic, it is quite simple. For details please refer to Migrating Scripts from Version 1.x to Version 2.x. <TBD update link>

Writing a script that implements a Star Topology has changed.

Cause	Previous to Mission Control version 2.0, implementing a Star Toplogy was very complex, cumbersome and error-prone.
Resolution	A new configuration block was introduced in Mission Control version 2.0 to make implementing a Star Toplogy, using either push or pull replication, very simple. For details, please refer to Star Toplogy. <TBD update link>

Writing a script that implements a Full Mesh Topology has changed.

Cause

Previous to Mission Control version 2.0, implementing a Full Mesh Toplogy was very complex, cumbersome and error-prone.

Resolution

A new configuration block was introduced in Mission Control version 2.0 to make implementing a Star Toplogy, using either push or pull replication, very simple. It is now much easier to implement a Full Mesh by configuring each node with its own Star Topology.

For details, please refer to Star Toplogy. <TBD update link>

Any repository created with a script uses the Maven default layout even when it's not a Maven repository

Cause	The default layout for any new repository is `maven-2-default`.
Resolution	When creating a new repository in a script, modify the `repoLayoutRef` field to the correct layout for your repository type.

When updating a repository using a script, some parameters that are not specified in the script are modified.

Cause	When updating a repository using a script, any parameter that is not explicitly specified is updated to the default value of that parameter.
Resolution	When updating a repository using a script, specify all the parameter for that repository that don't take the default value, even those that shouldn't change.

You can't find any scripts in the Mission Control installation structure.

Cause	Mission Control scripts are maintained in one of its internal databases which cannot be accessed form outside of Mission Control.
Resolution	To access Mission Control scripts, configure a Git repository to which Mission Control will synchronize all its scripts as described under Git Integration <TBD update link>. This also allows you to create and modify your scripts using any external editor.

Graphs

You can't see any historical data for a newly added service.

Cause	After adding a service to the system, it can take up to 15 minutes before Mission Control displays any data samples.
Resolution	Just wait up to 15 minutes, and you should then see data for the new added service.

You still see data for deleted services

Cause	To preserve historical data for deleted services, Mission Control stores the data under a fictitious service named <deleted_service_name>_old_xx (e.g. art1_old_01, art1_old_02. XX will be incremented if you delete and re-add a service with the same name.
Resolution	When viewing graphs for all services, these deleted will still appear, however, you may also focus on a specific service.

Groups

You cannot create Groups in Mission Control.

Cause	From version 2.0, Groups have been deprecated in Mission Control.
Resolution	Previous to version 2.0, creating Groups was a convenient way to run scripts on a number of Artifactory services at once since each script could only perform one action at a time. From version 2.0, scripting is much more flexible and you can specify any number of services on which a script should act.

REST API

The REST API is not working at all.

Cause	In version 2.0, Mission Control implemented a major upgrade of the REST API which is not backwards compatible with previous versions.
Resolution	You need to update your scripts to use the new REST API. For details, please refer to the updated Mission Control REST API <TBD update link> page, especially the Version Mappings <TBD update link>section that describes how to map endopints from previous versions to version 2.0 and above.

Services

There is no storage summary information in the Services screen.

Cause	Mission Control extracts storage information about managed Artifactory services using a REST API call.
Resolution	In some cases, the REST API call may take time to return. Wait a few moments and refresh the screen.
