[Progress Communities] [Progress OpenEdge ABL] Forum Post: "error: bad command line option" from tcman deploy

[dbeavon]

I'm using PASOE (development mode) v. 11.7.3 on x64 windows. I was trying to rebuild my PASOE instance today and started running thru some notes of mine. First I create the instance without problems. C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\bin\tcman create -p 8831 -P 8832 -s 8833 C:\OpenEdge\WRK\oepas4 Then I try to create an application and I get a strange error: C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\bin\tcman deploy -I oepas4 %CATALINA_HOME%\extras\manager.war ... yields ... error: bad command line option OK - deployed C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\extras\manager.war to local directory C:/OpenEdge/WRK/oepas4/webapps as application Notice the message : "error: bad command line option" If I dig into this a bit further, it seems to be coming from this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\bin\jtlr.bat" C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\extras manager.war -t -v" ... which is coming from this: PowerShell.exe -executionpolicy bypass -File "C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\bin\tcmanager.ps1" tcman deploy -I oepas4 C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\extras\manager.war It sure would be nice if this stuff were easier to troubleshoot. I'm a bit stumped and worried that I may have to reinstall all of Progress along with SP 3 of 11.7. I thought I would post a question here in case anyone has seen that "error". You can reproduce it simply by copying the following straight into a proenv command prompt: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\bin\jtlr.bat" C:\Progress\OpenEdge\servers\pasoe\extras manager.war -t -v"
