AUSST - Multiple ProcessUtils errors in DLM log file

Question

Hi there,

As I am regulary watching my AUSST internal server synchro results, I have noticed, in th DLM log file, a huge amout of the same error:

[ERROR] | ProcessUtils | XXXX | In changeThreadContextToExplorerContext. Unable to find explorer processID

I do not pass through a proxy server to contact the Adobe's servers to download updates from. I use a scheduled task to launch an incremental sync automatically on regular basis. Those errors are not leading or causing FATAL events in the logs.

I took some samples (see below) from an extract of the DLM log file so the error can be seen in context. Please note that I removed some text to make it easier t to read (date and time for example have been removed).

Thank you for your ideas.

Cheers,

@SIRRenens The server always connects to the Adobe server in order to get any type of updates (incremental or fresh). These errors look like general errors that could be ignored as the connection is still active and files are processing.

You can also check the AUSST logs (AdobeUpdateServerSetupTool.log) to check for any Fatal errors, the log files are located in the %temp% folder in Windows and in the ~/Library/Logs in macOS

Hi @SIRRenens,Did you contact Adobe support to see if they have any ideas/clues for this. It seems to be a very specific issue with less chances of someone else seeing this and knowing anything about it. I will in the meanwhile try to escalate this to the Adobe team(if I can get hold of them). I will update you if I get some response, or they might also contact you directly.-Manan
