Running into "The system cannot find the path specified" when upgrading from OpenAM 13.0.0 to 15.2.2

[jibran-ircc]

Hi there, I am upgrading our OpenAM installation from version 13.5 to 15.2.2 and running into the error below after the data store upgrade step. We are performing an in-place upgrade where the old WAR file is replaced with version 15.2.2 OpenAM war file, OpenAM detects the old version and performed the upgrade of DataStore. However, getting the error below in the post step so need help if anyone has run into this error:
