Attempting to execute a script as part of an automation exercise - encountering RetrofitError: 500 Server Error

[Anon Anon]

Attempting to execute a script as part of an automation exercise that should sign on as a specific user, build an image and model, create a mar file, remove an existing VS (Web/SOAP) and then deploy the latest model.

 

We're encountering retrofit error (ERROR: An error occurred processing specified arguments.  Use --help for help. retrofit.RetrofitError: 500 Server Error) during the removal and the deployment steps.

 

Not sure if this is a red herring but the log file contains the following [DevTest AGENT:C][INFO][18378][1][main][08-Apr-2016 11:07:15] Command line: /opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/jre/bin/java -Dinstall4j.jvmDir=/opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/jre -Di4j.vpt=true -Dinstall4j.launcherId=1056 -Dinstall4j.swt=false -Xms24m -DLISA_LOG=vsemgr.log -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8 -Djava.endorsed.dirs=/opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/bin//../lib/endorsed -Dexe4j.moduleName=/opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/bin/VSEManager -XX:HeapDumpPath=/opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/bin//../tmp -DdummyArg -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Di4j.vmov=true -Xmx256m -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -DLISA_HOME=/opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/bin//../ -Djava.security.policy=/opt/lisa/CA/DevTest803/bin//../lisa.permissions -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -classpath

 

Just wondered if anyone had any ideas as to what the issue may be (apologies for the generic nature of this question).

Not certain.  But, your message "... error occurred processing specified arguments.  Use --help" seems to be indicating that one of your command line statements is missing a value or is incorrectly pointing to a value.  For example, let's say you were executing the ServiceManager from a command line and failed to provide the --vrs argument.  The Use --help would indicate that you need to verify that the command line has supplied all of the required arguments.   

I wish I knew for certain that this was your error, but I would start by looking at each of the command lines and ensure the required arguments are properly configured.  You may be able to fire each command from a command prompt to diagnose which one is throwing the error.

Thanks Joel, resolved it now due to a PICNIC (Problem In Chair Not In Computer) issue - I was using the user credentials for the linux server as one of the script arguments rather than the DevTest console (user has the same username in both instances)
