Backgrounder Down After Upgrade, Logs Show "Context initialization failed" and "class path resource [com/tableau/messagebus/config/IConfiguration.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist"

Date de publication: Feb 13, 2025
Description

After a successful upgrade, some or all backgrounders on some or all nodes will not start and persistently remain in a bad state even after restarts/reboots. 

The post-upgrade restart job times out with a message similar to the following in tabadmincontroller_node1-0.log:

2021-06-29 19:39:27.423 -0500 pool-21-thread-1 : INFO com.tableausoftware.tabadmin.webapp.impl.status.ServiceStatusWatcher - 30 services have reached their expected state

2021-06-29 19:39:27.423 -0500 pool-21-thread-1 : INFO com.tableausoftware.tabadmin.webapp.impl.status.ServiceStatusWatcher - node1 has 1 service that isn't running: backgrounder_0.20212.21.0610.0336 (deployment state: ENABLED, process status: DOWN)

2021-06-29 19:39:28.665 -0500 pool-22-thread-1 : ERROR com.tableausoftware.tabadmin.webapp.asyncjobs.AsyncJobService - Timed out after 1800 seconds running job 84 of type StartServerJob

java.util.concurrent.TimeoutException: null
 

Around that same time in tabadminagent_node1-0.log we see:

2021-06-29 19:37:28.469 -0500 StatusRequestDispatcher-1-request : WARN com.tableausoftware.service.status.BackgrounderStatusFactory - Unexpected HTTP error response (404): 

2021-06-29 19:37:28.469 -0500 StatusRequestDispatcher-1 : INFO com.tableausoftware.tabadmin.agent.status.ServiceStatusRequestRunner - Posting status update for backgrounder_0: DOWN, detail message: Unexpected HTTP error response (404):
 

The backgrounder_node1-0.log file, meanwhile, is a steady stream of this class path resource cannot be opened because it does not exist error:
 

2021-06-29 19:28:14.221 -0500 (,,,,,,) main : ERROR org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoader - Context initialization failed

org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanDefinitionStoreException: Failed to parse configuration class [com.tableausoftware.backgrounder.config.AppConfig]; nested exception is java.io.FileNotFoundException: class path resource [com/tableau/messagebus/config/IConfiguration.class] cannot be opened because it does not exist

Slightly more information is revealed in the tomcat_backgrounder_node1-0 log file: 
02-Jul-2021 02:12:12.441 SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.listenerStart Exception sending context initialized event to listener instance of class [org.springframework.web.context.ContextLoaderListener]

Résolution
Use one of the following workarounds

Option 1
  1. Run a tsm stop.
  2. Open a command line interface (Run as administrator) and navigate to the services folder for the backgrounder process that is not running, in this case 1 of 4 and 2 of 4 are both in an error state.
    Example:
    C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\services\backgrounder_0.20212.21.0712.0907 (First backgrounder that is not running)
  3. Run uninstall.cmd
    Example:
    C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\services\backgrounder_0.20212.21.0712.0907 >uninstall.cmd
  4. If the uninstall.cmd is successful, proceed with the install.cmd
    Example:
    C:\ProgramData\Tableau\Tableau Server\data\tabsvc\services\backgrounder_0.20212.21.0712.0907 >install.cmd
  5. Run tsm start
  6. Confirm status with tsm status -v

Option 2
Obliterate, install the target version of Tableau Server, and restore from backup.
