Last modified: 2013-03-06 13:41:42 EST
Description of problem: On updated packages from last release version using installation wizard (without previous uninstallation) there is an error report in the Starter log: "JavaDetect: failure status 1 when executing C:\PROGRA~2\Java\jre6\bin\java.exe -classpath C:\condor/bin:C:\condor/bin/scimark2lib.jar:. CondorJavaInfo old 2" Java should be detected after update as well as after new installation. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): condor-7.6.5-0.11.msi How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install condor-7.6.3-0.3.msi and restart your computer 2. Update condor by condor 7.6.5-0.11.msi using installation wizard and restart the computer again 3. See the StarterLog Actual results: The StarterLog contains an error message. Expected results: The StarterLog should contain no error message. Additional info: This may be associated with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=748339
The configs are preserved and not overwritten. The old config had an issue and was subsequently fixed. I'm uncertain whether we should create a software mod for this or update a FAQ. b/c the updated installer will drop a correct config if one is not presently there. I think parsing the existing config to try to correct is the wrong choice, because it is actually broken from the original installation. thoughts?
I think this should be fixed somehow. I see two options: 1) you will introduce way how to update/rewrite old configuration values in default configuration files. This is not problem because I expect that users use remote configuration for configuration nodes. 2) write it into documentation that old configuration in default configuration files are not changed by update
The installer will now read the existing config and *only* update the original config if JAVA_CLASSPATH_SEPARATOR = :

Upgrading condor-7.6.3-0.3 to 7.6.8-0.3 was successful on all supported platforms and no java failures were detected in log files. But upgrading condor-7.6.5-11 to 7.6.8-0.3 failed; see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=825819 (added to dependencies), so this bug cannot be verified at this time.
