Symptom
- Unable to access CMC and BI Launchpad post upgrade from BI 4.2 SP09 Patch 13 to Patch 16.
- Tomcat cache for BOE is always empty or 0 KB
- Clearing BOE cache (0kb) and restarting tomcat does not help
- Tried replacing server.xml and BOE web.xml from working systems
- Tried redeploying BOE webapp with command line
- From task manager - when tomcat is restarted, it gets to 99% CPU, 1.5-1.5 GB RAM at one point but then immediately plunges to 0% and stays there - indicating perhaps the BOE thread got killed.
- Reviewed logs and see errors in stderr log related to BOE not starting due to previous errors

18-Nov-2023 18:13:15.847 SEVERE [main] org.apache.catalina.core.StandardContext.startInternal Context [/BOE] startup failed due to previous errors - Repair fixed the problem but the behavior is back after SAML configuration related xml files were replaced.
