Hi all. So we got a batch of new machines on the farm and my IT department ended up installing Deadline 5.2 on them. So Now I have that pesky Error occurred while writing report log: Could not find a part of the path issue. The last two times I tried reinstalling the repository I ended up deleting all of my data and had to rebuild everything.
So to be sure, can I just run the repository installer without uninstalling my current repository? Will this fix the corruption issue? Or do I have to uninstall and rebuild?

Well, if you choose ‘use existing database’, you’ll definitely be good.
I’m not sure you’ll also be good if you choose ‘install new’. In theory we don’t create any files in the database folder, but I’m not sure if we delete or move the database itself.
The re-install will fix the Repository folder structure, but if you also have a corrupt database, you’ll likely need to run a repair manually. If the log report error is what you’re out to fix, choose to keep the existing database and all should be well.
Awesome Edwin thanks! I’m a bit gun shy after nuking my database twice.
