Bes 9.x relay crashing after upgrade

(imported topic written by jfschafer)

I upgraded a Windows 2003 server to the new Bes 9.0 relay and now the relay service crashes on the server with 1000’s of popup error windows that you have to hit cancel on 1 at a time. I uninstalled the relay agent and reinstalled and the problem returns. Only happened since upgrading relay to 9.x. Error on the popup window is "The instruction at “0x005804e3” referenced memory at “0x000000008”. The memory could not be “read”. Click OK to terminate the program. Click CANCEL to debug the program. Not sure if this is a new bug in the 9.x release or not and was wondering if anyone else saw this issue.

Here’s a few entries from the logfile.txt in the relay folder that may point to issue:

I uninstalled and reinstalled the BESClient and BESRelay on the server in question (by the way all the BES tools available for download only work for version 8.2 and below still and they haven’t updated links to download tools for version 9 yet).

After restalling Besclient and Besrelay on server having issues, all I see in the relay log file now is:

Getting the “class NotASignedMessage” all over. Can’t even do a send refresh to an endpoint. Working with support for over a week. No real progress. Welcome to the version 9 upgrade nightmare.

(imported comment written by VipulSri)

What is the complete version of TEM on which you upgraded it to??

As per IBM if you have CPM installed on your server and you upgrade your environment to TEM 9.0.586 then you will see issues with Relay crashing randomly, however this issue has been fixed by IBM in TEM 9.0.649.

And I completely agree with you that Upgrade 9 is a total nightmare.

We had some similar major issues with the version 9 relay service, but after working with support and getting a special build, it seems fixed. The fix for our particular issue should be in the newest build.

Do any of you use a network Intrusion Prevention System?

(imported comment written by jfschafer)

Just wanted to update those watching this thread. I no longer have any issues with this error since subsequent releases of IEM. It’s running quite smooth. Currently on latest release 9.0.787.0 and no issues with relays.
