Upgrading IBM Engineering Workflow Management by using CCM_upgrade script fails with "java.lang.IllegalStateException" error

Troubleshooting


Problem

Attempts to upgrade IBM Engineering Workflow Management application by using the ccm_upgrade script result in the error "java.lang.IllegalStateException".

Symptom

The ccm_upgrade.bat script fails with the error:
2012-11-20 13:25:56,796 The version string " -Dcom.ibm.team.repotools.rcp.allowInvalidBundles=true" is not properly formatted.
java.lang.IllegalStateException: The version string " -Dcom.ibm.team.repotools.rcp.allowInvalidBundles=true" is not properly formatted.

Or you might notice the ccm_upgrade script hangs for a while and displays the following error:
CRJAZ1363I Loading the configuration from "bundleresource://364.fwk1594121988/teamserver.properties".
Validating JTS configuration files...
Checking the old application version...
The ccm upgrade failed at step 0.  Correct the problem and run the script again starting at step 0.

Cause

There are custom operation advisors with invalid bundles. The upgrade script is unable to determine the old application version.

Resolving The Problem

Proceed with the upgrade regardless of the invalid bundles, pass the oldApplicationVersion parameter with the value of the old application version (such as 3.0.1.1) when you run the upgrade script.

For example, on Windows:
 
upgrade/ccm/ccm_upgrade.bat -oldApplicationHome CCM_3.0.1_install_dir\server\conf oldApplicationVersion=3.0.1.1

Or, on Linux:
upgrade/ccm/ccm_upgrade.sh -oldApplicationHome CCM_3.0.1_install_dir/server/conf -oldApplicationVersion 3.0.1.1
