Error deploying the ear file
Step failed! See /home/oracle/Aveksa_7.1.1_P04/logs/7.1.1_P04_2020-01-16-1644.log for more information.

 if you encounter this error running customizeACM.sh, please see related RSA Knowledge Base Article 000038632 -- customizeACM.sh fails with 'Undeploy failed:' error in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle for resolution.
 
Cause
The deployed aveksa ear file has a name other than aveksa.ear.

By default, the RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle installation, patch/upgrade and customizeACM.sh processes automatically deploy the ear file with the name aveksa.ear and expect the name of the ear file to be aveksa.ear when they go to undeploy the ear.

In cases where the ear file has been deployed manually, it is possible to deploy the ear file with a name other than aveksa.ear. In this case future patching, upgrading and customization of the ear file will fail.
 
Resolution

Manually undeploy the current ear file and re-install the patch.

  1. Login as the oracle user
  2. Determine the name of the currently deployed ear file:
$AVEKSA_HOME/wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --controller="127.0.0.1:9999" --command="deployment-info"
You will see output similar to the following:
NAME                                          RUNTIME-NAME                                  PERSISTENT ENABLED STATUS
aveksaWFArchitect.ear                         aveksaWFArchitect.ear                         true       true    OK
<name other than aveksa.ear>                  <name other than aveksa.ear>             true       true    OK
​​​​​This is the reason for the patch failure. The name should be aveksa.ear.
  1. Undeploy the ear file. (Standalone)
$AVEKSA_HOME/wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --controller="127.0.0.1:9999" --command="undeploy <name of deployed aveksa ear file>"
  1. Undeploy the ear file. (Clustered)
$AVEKSA_HOME/wildfly/bin/jboss-cli.sh -c --controller="127.0.0.1:9999" --command="undeploy <name of deployed aveksa ear file> --server-groups=img-server-group"
  1. Login as the root user and re-install the patch.
su root
cd <patch-directory>
./patch.sh
 

To avoid the problem in the future:

If you are deploying the ear file manually and not through patching, upgrading or customizeACM.sh, ensure that the ear file is deployed as aveksa.ear by following the instructions in RSA Knowledge Base Article 000038351 -- How to manually deploy an aveksa ear file in RSA Identity Governance & Lifecycle.
