Hi,

I get following error while executing the baseline validation tool.

INFO: Result folder: Results\DEV1_PreUpgrade

Throwable: Parameter 'directory' is not a directory

Thread[main,5,main]

SEVERE: Unhandled Exception

SEVERE: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Parameter 'directory' is not a directory

In my testconfig.xml file, I have not specified a path for the catalog (<Parameter name="CatalogRoot" value="/"/>) and I believe that could be the reason for this error.  If this is correct, then what path needs to be provided here.  Since the catalog is on the server (Linux) while I'm running this tool on my local machine (Windows).

Please help me fix this issue.

Regards,

Vahib

    Update -

    I ftp'ed the BVT on to my linux server and executed it after providing catalog root path in testconfig.xml, but still get the same error.

    And you don't need to run BVT from the server, it perfectly works running it on your local machine.

    Thanks Gianni.  I did refer that link earlier but it didn't strike me that it could help my cause

    Anyways, I got around that issue but still cannot get BVT to work due to another issue which I believe is related to how SSO and WNI are set up.  Will work with those teams internally to resolve this.  Thanks.
