1 2 3 4 5 6 2019-03-18 09:41:29,669 ERROR [Caesium-1-4] [agent.service.stepexecutor.ProgressTracker] error Step failed, message: An unexpected error occurred during step: Migrating attachments.

Diagnosis

Diagnostic Steps

  • Check in the Confluence JVM parameters if the following has been configured:

1 -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false

Cause

Setting the parameter -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false means when you connect to a virtual server (which means there are many web servers on one IP address) then it stops the translation of IP address to the domain name. Basically, it stops just about every connection from working.

Solution

Resolution

  • Shutdown Confluence

  • Remove the following parameter from Confluence JVM settings:

1 -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
  • Start Confluence
