SOLUTION

Symptoms

While uninstalling the existing Index Agent on Solaris machine, an error dialog box is displayed:

"Failed to load preferences: java.io.FileNotFoundException: Cannot locate file - dfc.properties"

Cause

Environment variable DFC_DATA set in dmadmin's profile seems to cause this problem. All the other environment variables seemed to be correct.

Resolution

When DFC_DATA was commented out in the dmadmin's profile, the problem disappeared.
