Post Upgrade File listener issue

Hi all,

we have upgraded from 8.5.2 to 8.8.3 version for Pega platform + SIP, as well the server was upgraded, and it seems now the File listener is failing when testing connectivity

Status

Fail:Configuration

Message

Listener is not configured to run on current host [hostname] - update ‘Listener Nodes’ list.

Is there something extra that has to be run, so that it is picking up the correct information?

it is only failing when using NodeClassification Startup => using BackgroundProcessing. On the other options, it is fine

Thank you for help.

@RenataC5 Based on the error message, it seems like the File listener is not configured to run on the current host. This could be due to the ‘Listener Nodes’ list not being updated with the correct information. If you’re using ‘NodeClassification Startup’ with ‘BackgroundProcessing’, make sure that the node classification is correctly set for the nodes where you want the listener to run. If the issue persists, you might want to check the ‘Startup option’ field on the ‘Properties’ tab of the listener. If ‘Node based startup’ is selected, ensure that the correct node is added to the list. If ‘Host based startup’ is selected, ensure that the correct host is added to the list. Remember to restart the listener for the changes to take effect.
