Upgrading to TIBCO Spotfire Server 10.3.1 fails if selecting to not use a configuration from a previous server installation

When running the upgrade tool for TIBCO Spotfire Server 10.3.1, if you select the option "Do not copy configuration" to upgrade without using a configuration from a previous server installation, the upgrade fails with the following error message:

ERROR 2019-06-10T13:14:00,078 tools.upgrade.UpgradeTool: Internal error

This is a known issue in TIBCO Spotfire Server version 10.3.1 which is fixed in version 10.3.2.

For now, the recommendation is to select to copy a configuration from previous server installation when running the upgrade tool.
