Number: EM-27688 Severity: Major Valid since: SL 8.8+ Resolved In: SL 8.11.0
Detailed description: Nightly update process attempts to deploy System Env but fails because the old deploy process created files in the wrong place. In 8.8.0, the "em7_envs_deploy" service was transitioned from being a daemon process managed by systemd to a periodic process managed by EM7, but the daemon service is not explicitly stopped by the post update scripts. This can result in the old one continuing to run alongside the new one. The result is exceptions where the old one destroys the collection env's symlinks and the new deploy service cannot deploy the new environment.
Steps to correct: run the following commands: sudo systemctl stop em7_envs_deploy
sudo systemctl disable em7_envs_deploy.service
reboot the CU Added to community sheet: 2019/01/04 Reported by: Joe Baltes Link to the community tracking list: http://bit.ly/SL1Defectlist
