offbyone 6 Posted June 24, 2021 Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hello, We found that the mirror tool is no longer working for all our customers. On all installations we now get the following error message: Error: Unkwon value(unknown case in swith) in HwPlatform type in metadata3 parser Error occured. I guess something changed on the ESET side which broke the tool. Any suggestions what to do? THX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone 6 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Addition: Syncing updates still works, it is the repo sync which now fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
offbyone 6 Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Looking at the error message it seems that the parser found an invalid hardware platform specified in one of the metadata3 files. I think the "unknown case in swith" is a typo in the error message an should read switch instead. Seems that the switch clause in the code is missing the needed case statement for that hardware platform. Did ESET introduce a new HwPlatform and did not update the mirror tool or is there a malformed metadata3 file located in their repository? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff MartinK 370 Posted June 24, 2021 ESET Staff Share Posted June 24, 2021 Could you possibly report this issue just that is it not forgotten? Actually there has been changes you mentioned (support for ARM64 platform has been added) and therefore either new mirror tool or changes in ESET infrastructure will be required to resolve this problem.

András Káldor 0 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 In most case it is better to download the install package (.msi) and share it on a webserver. SoftwareInstall task can be created with direct link like: http:\\innnerserver.domain\manualinstall\ees\ees.msi It is not worth to download gigas of data.

offbyone 6 Posted June 29, 2021 Author Share Posted June 29, 2021 But how do you create a all-in-one installer with agent, AV remover and settings from this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really would be helpful for the mirror tools would be better filter possibilities like regexp on name, OS and language. This would reduce data to download significantly.

Administrators Marcos 4,360 Posted July 15, 2021 Administrators Share Posted July 15, 2021 Please provide the whole command that you ran so that I can try to reproduce it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ESET Staff Rami M 1 Posted July 26, 2021 ESET Staff Share Posted July 26, 2021 @MaxN mirror tool synchronization take really long time, whole repository is really big and with slow network if can take many hours. New mirror tool was tested with actual repository and was working correctly. If you have any problem with synchronization please contact ESET support and provide information as command line for reproduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
