Action Plan
  1. Identify the type of issue and the Package step where the issue occurs. To do so, you have two possibilities:
    1. Either use the Package window.
      1. See if there are error messages or warnings in the Results column
      2. For performances issues, check the longest durations in the Duration column
      3. The Package step where the issue occurs is given in the Task column. In the below example, the step is the Extraction.

      4. Open the log file corresponding to the step where the issue occurs (See Delivery Manager Tool logs to find out where the logs are located):
        1. Extraction Log file if the step is Extraction 
        2. Scan Log file if the step is Scan 
        3. Discovery Log file if the step is Discovery 
        4. Selection Log file if the step is Selection 
        5. Validation Log file if the step is Validation 
        6. Remediation Log file if the step is Remediation 
    2. Or check in the log files generated by the DMT when Packaging a version.
      1. Open the Extraction Log, Scan Log, Discovery Log, Selection Log, Validation Log, Remediation Log located at Delivery Manager Tool logs. To open them, use the CASTLOG2 viewer located in <CAST INSTALLATION FOLDER>\DeliveryManagerTool\CastLog2Viewer.exe
      2. Check if there are ERROR, WARNING messages or performances issues in each of these logs. For example, the WARNING message Missing translation for id prevents some objects to be packaged
        Figure 3
        The message An error has occurred during command processing ... which prevents the package to be successful
    3. For Projects not found and alerts (Package Content tab), the Package step is Validation

  2. For System can not find the specified file message, an Antivirus program running on the machine hosting the DMT may cause the issue. These can be intermittent and can be seen during the Extraction, Discovery or Scan step. To resolve this issue, exclude the following files from the antivirus program:
    1. DeliveryManagerTool.exe
    2. DeliveryManagerTool-CLI.exe
    3. DeliveryManagerTool-Help.exe
    4. CastLog2Viewer.exe
    5. CAST-DeliveryEngine.jar
    6. CAST-DeliveryEngineCLI.jar
  3. When adding a new version from AIP Console which uses the JEE File Discoverer since the source code does not contain a .project/.pom file, you will come across the below messages in the selection.castlog2 file

    This message means the analysis unit associated to the project is incomplete as explained here. 

    This message will not let create an analysis unit with respect to the incomplete package as well. 

    When you have this message, you need to manually open Delivery Manager Tool and uncheck the selection rule - 


    After which you can run packaging and Delivery from Delivery Manager Tool.

    Do a set as current version and re-sync the application in AIP Console to continue with analysis and snapshot

  4. Navigate to the step showing the issue 
  6. If you do not find the information you are looking for or solution for your problem, contact CAST Technical Support with Relevant Input.

Relevant Input

If the issue occurs during the Packaging - Extraction Step
