  • Caused by: java.io.IOException: freemarker.core.InvalidReferenceException: The following has evaluated to null or missing:

Solución

 

  • Manually update the activemqserver.jmx.password to any non-null, non-empty value, e.g.
    • tsm configuration set --key activemqserver.jmx.password -v ec8c3d2ea1f275752ad79a5d062ab202
    • tsm pending-changes apply
  • Re-run Tableau Server upgrade script, upgrade-tsm. Ensure the upgrade completes successfully.
  • (Optional, but recommended to ensure internal secrets are properly handled) Ensure you have a recent .tsbak Tableau Server backup. then run tsm security regenerate-internal-tokens to rotate all internal secrets, tokens, certs, and encryption keys.
