Agent upload fails...ret = -2

For some time now, I had some trouble with a database instance in OEM. The agent refused to upload his data to the OMS, giving me the Failed to upload file Bxxxxxx.xml, ret = -2 error.
In the log file, the following error occurs :

Thread-4595721 ERROR upload: Failed to upload file B0012907.xml, ret = -22008-07-23
Thread-4595721 WARN upload: FxferSend: received http error in header from repository: http://oemrepository/em/upload/

I bounced the agent, the OMS...even patched the OMS, but nothing solved this problem. Until I noticed the same problem in a forum. I tried the following on the target machine..

oemagent@oebs04:(state)> rm *
oemagent@oebs04:(collection)> rm *
oemagent@oebs04:(upload)> rm *
oemagent@oebs04:(emd)> rm lastupld.xml
oemagent@oebs04:(emd)> rm agntstmp.txt
oemagent@oebs04:(emd)> rm blackouts.xml
oemagent@oebs04:(emd)> cd ..
oemagent@oebs04:(sysman)> cd ../bin

Hi Bas

Ik zou publicsoft vervangen door smartapps.

Je bent er maar druk mee met het schrijven op je blog ;-)
