This error can be caused by multiple factors but ultimately it is a result of a connectivity issue between the Tyler Deploy servers and the client server(s).
The most common causes are:
- Antivirus is actively scanning or blocking the deployment package as it runs
- Firewall is severing the connection
- Slow internet speeds on client network
- Ensure your Target Servers are showing as healthy in Tyler Deploy: How to Check the Health of a Target Server in Tyler Deploy
- If a server is reporting as Unavailable, restart the Octopus Tentacle service in Services.msc on the Target Server. Run the Check Health option after for the server in Tyler Deploy to ensure it come's back as healthy
- Ensure that the necessary Antivirus exclusions are in place from active scanning on the server(s):
- Antivirus Exclusion List for Time and Attendance and Tyler Workflow
- Please also ensure that executables and PowerShell scripts are allowed to run from these directories
- Verify the following TCP Firewall Ports are open on your server(s):
- Ensure there are no network bandwidth issues or disruptions to your internet service provider
