Hi,

i have just upgraded pur test servers to the latest version, but now i get this error when i try to start the cache builder:

Service cannot be started. System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
   at Cireson.CacheBuilder.Service.Pocos.DomainUser..ctor(String name)
   at Cireson.CacheBuilder.Service.Util.ConfigurationManagerUtil..ctor(ISettingsProvider settingsProvider)
   at DynamicInjectord99e3b3fe06f4eae862c5155b32c7b4d(Object[] )

   at Cireson.CacheBuilder.Service.CacheEngine.Initialize()
   at Cireson.CacheBuilder.WindowsService.CacheBuilder.OnStart(String[] args)
   at System.ServiceProcess.ServiceBase.ServiceQueuedMainCallback(Object state)

Any ideas to what is wrong?

    Hi.

    I have the exact same issue with the Cache Builder after upgrade. Nothing is added to the log-file either.

    Open the portal and browse to Admin Settings > Setting Items

    Enter a valid group for the setting called: AnnouncementManagerADGroup

    Then save this page. You should then be able to restart cache builder and it should run successfully.

    Unfortunatly there is no setting called AnnouncementManagerADGroup
    Should there be?

    That did the tricks.

    @Jan_Dam one last thing. You may get an error when you try to access the License Settings page. If you do, please run this SQL query against the ServiceManagement db.

    IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SettingsItem WHERE [Key]='AnalystPortalKey')&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>BEGIN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>insert SettingsItem ([Key],[TenantId],[ModifiedDate])&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>values&nbsp;&nbsp; ('AnalystPortalKey',0,getdate())&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>END <br>IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SettingsItem WHERE [Key]='SelfServicePortalKey')&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>BEGIN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>insert SettingsItem ([Key],[TenantId],[ModifiedDate])&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>values&nbsp;&nbsp; ('SelfServicePortalKey',0,getdate())&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>END <br>IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SettingsItem WHERE [Key]='DashboardsKey')&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>BEGIN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>insert SettingsItem ([Key],[TenantId],[ModifiedDate])&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>values&nbsp;&nbsp; ('DashboardsKey',0,getdate())&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>END <br>IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SettingsItem WHERE [Key]='AdvancedRequestOfferingKey')&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>BEGIN&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>insert SettingsItem ([Key],[TenantId],[ModifiedDate])&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>values&nbsp;&nbsp; ('AdvancedRequestOfferingKey',0,getdate())&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <br>END
