Root Cause: Whenever upgrade from any version that supports classic folder executions, to the 2023.4 version which does not support it, generally on the first node it gives a pop up to accept the same.

In case this pop up does not come up or in case the upgrade is getting stuck with this error (-Job executions in classic folders are blocked) on the second node, then this parameter needs to be passed, which works as acceptance of no execution of classic processes.

Resolution:

When upgrading from the command line, add the following parameter to confirm that all restrictions around classic folders are known:

  • For standalone Orchestrator: add CONFIRM_BLOCK_CLASSIC_EXECUTIONS and set it to 1

CONFIRM_BLOCK_CLASSIC_EXECUTIONS=1

Ex: UiPathOrchestrator.msi SECONDARY_NODE=1 PARAMETERS_FILE=install.json CONFIRM_BLOCK_CLASSIC_EXECUTIONS=1 /Q
