McAfee VirusScan Enterprise (VSE) 8.8 Patch 3 (Build 8.8.0.1128)

For VSE supported environments, see KB51111.

Probleem

If the VSE 8.8 Patch 3 extension fails to check in successfully, the result is that all VSE previously configured policies in the ePolicy Orchestrator (ePO) database are lost.

The following error is reported at the ePO console when the check-in fails:

An unexpected error has occurred

This installation failure leads to the policies reverting to the default.

Orion.log on the ePO server records the following error:

Command Failed: Installation error: upgrade: [echo] Upgrade called for VIRUSCAN8800 (version 8.8.0.284) BUILD FAILED D:\PROGRA~1\McAfee\EPOLIC~1\server\extensions\installed\VIRUSCAN8800\8.8.0.284\install.xml:66: java.sql.SQLException: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value 'szScanItem3' to data type int. Total time: 53 seconds

Systeemwijziging

You tried to check in the VSE 8.8 Patch 3 management extension.

Oorzaak

Two issues occurred:

The migration of a scan task failed. The reason is because the scan task included a duplicate entry in the database for the Cookie Scan item that exposed an error in the migration logic. This duplicate can occur when a scan task is created with default scan items and modified to have only one or two scan items. One of those items is still the Cookie Scan item. The duplicate entry is not visible in the user interface, but exists within the database.
The rollback/recovery process when encountering the above failure also failed.

Oplossing

This issue is resolved in the VSE 8.8 Patch 3 (Repost) release. Patches are cumulative; Technical Support recommends that you install the latest one.

NOTE: The VSE 8.8 Patch 3 (Repost) only includes a new Patch 3 Management Extension to resolve this issue. The VSE 8.8 Patch 3 application build remains 8.8.0.1128.

McAfee product software, upgrades, maintenance releases, and documentation are available from the Product Downloads site at: https://www.mcafee.com/enterprise/en-us/downloads/my-products.html.

NOTE: You need a valid Grant Number for access. See KB56057 - How to download Enterprise product updates and documentation for more information about the Product Downloads site, and alternate locations for some products.
