The problem seems to occur when we are reusing old artifacts on Stage environment. There is a pipeline directive that you can use so that you stop the pipeline reusing old artifacts so I'm going to do this. Hopefully this will resolve my problems.

Thanks Santosh. I might proceed to deploying to Prod, but keep a backup file of the configs on Prod just in case, the same thing happens in that environment. At least I can recover then.

The filter for the aem.config... package has a mode=update and runs after the aem.apps one.You don't suppose the order of these could ever get mixed up?

Thanks Santosh,. Have you idea why I got the above crx/packmgr error messages.? My support ticket guy thought it was because I was flicking between branches that had already been deployed earlier on Staging (i.e. branches that already had been built into packages with checksums that were recognized.) But I've tried flicking between branches a few times on Staging and it didn't reproduce the problem.

Thanks Santosh,A subsequent deploy to an updated "develop" worked o.k. so I 'll have to try reproduce it again. I am the only person who installs packages on AEM prod and I do it via Cloud Manager always. With the problem, in crx/packmgr, the "all" package was fine but all its subpackages had this message under them. "A different version seems to be installed..." There is a subpackage, aem.ui.apps. which has a lot of filters including /apps/xxx ( which gets 3 folders, clientlibs,components and t...

I did find in the error.log where the configurations were being deleting. This happened during the Cloud Manager deploy that resulted in the crx/packmgr messages "A different version seems to be installed..." and after which the servers had their problems I don't know why the OsgiInstallerImpl deleted them. 25.05.2022 21:22:31.914 *INFO* [OsgiInstallerImpl] org.apache.sling.audit.osgi.installer Deleted configuration com.xxx.soap.services.impl.ConsumeSOAPServiceImpl from resource TaskResource(url...

hi Santosh, Thank you for your reply and interesting video.I watched it and checked my own problem server.The run modes were o.k.I noticed that there are lots of configs under /apps/system/config but they are all Adobe ones. But all my configs were gone! .... i.e the ones under /apps/*/config The other odd thing I noticed is that in crx/packmgr, the "all" package was fine but all its subpackages had this message under them. "A different version seems to be installed..."
