This error occurs when a backup or patch operation on UCCX has not been completed successfully. When a backup or patch operation is performed, there are several flags that are temporarily modified to show that a backup/restore or a patch operation occurs. When these flags indicate an operation occurs, then no modifications are allowed from UCCX AppAdmin. Sometimes, these flags get stuck and the issue mentioned in this section occurs.

Solution

You need to clear these flags from the archive configuration in the CET (cet.bat) tool in order to resolve this issue. Complete these steps:

This is an example screenshot of these flags that are set in the CET tool:

. Complete these steps in order to clear these flags:
1. On the UCCX server, go to C:\Program Files\wfavvid and double-click on the cet.bat file.
2. Click No at the warning about the use of this tool.
3. In the left-hand pane, double-click on this Configuration Object Type: com.cisco.crs.cluster.config.ClusterSpecificConfig.

9. Under the Archive Clients section, delete the null field and the IP address and leave only the double quotes for IP.
10. Click OK in order for the changes to take effect.
