DataMapper service fails to restart after adding new parameters to the config file

Symptoms

Errors in event log:

Log Name:      Application
Source:        .NET Runtime
Description:
Application: Changepoint.IntegrationServices.WindowsServices.DataMapper.exe
Framework Version: v4.0.30319
Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.
Exception Info: System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException

   at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.GetSectionRecursive()
   at System.Configuration.BaseConfigurationRecord.GetSection()
   at System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager.GetSection()

Reason

The new parameters were not added to the proper section in the configuration file.

Resolution

Make sure that the new parameters are added in the proper format to the proper section.

For example, the following format is incorrect:

<add switchValue="All" name="Error">

<add name="Email Trace Listener" />

<listeners>

<add name="Error Rolling Flat File Trace Listener" />

</listeners>

The parameter for the listener must be within the <listeners> section as follows:

<add switchValue="All" name="Error">

<listeners>

<add name="Email Trace Listener" />

<add name="Error Rolling Flat File Trace Listener" />

</listeners>
