Table 5-2

describes some common problems with custom actions.

Table 5-3

describes miscellaneous problems.

Table 5-2. Troubleshooting: Custom Actions

Error

Action

The executable

filename does not

exist.

Ensure that the executable file associated with your custom

action is located in the directory you specified during the

configuration process. Also, ensure that the custom action is

located on a system disk, otherwise the Upgrade Side loses

access to the executable file while the system is in split

mode.

Custom action

failed with exit

value n

Check the output for the custom action for errors. See

“Viewing Standard Output and Error Stream” on page 3-17

for more information.

You must correct the problem and click Retry in the Active

Upgrade console to retry the current upgrade request (which

also runs the custom action again). The Active Upgrade

process cannot continue until the executable file for your

custom action runs successfully.

If possible, test and debug the executable file outside of the

Active Upgrade process. Ensure that it terminates with exit

value 0 and that it completes in a timely manner.

Table 5-3. Troubleshooting: Miscellaneous Problems

Error/Problem

Action

Active Upgrade console

fails to start

Wait a minute, and try to start Active Upgrade console again.

If the problem persists, it might mean that the Active

Upgrade console cannot communicate with related services

on your local system. If your system is running a network

firewall solution, check the firewall logs for blocked

communications and explicitly add these items to your

trusted zone. For information about configuring Windows

Firewall, see

“Configuring Windows Firewall for the Active

Upgrade Process” on page 2-10
