Failed to save workflow schema, vRO HTML5 client exception
One of the major enhancements vRealize Automation 7.6 brings to the table is HTML5 functionality in vRO.
To name a few on what it brings to the table
Build , Import , Edit , Debug and Execute workflows from HTML5 interface
Create , update and use workflow configuration elements
Compare and restore different versions of the same workflow side by side
Enhanced dashboard and permissions for WebClient
Improvement in workflow run troubleshooting
But during one of two instances , i did see a problem with this new HTML5 vRO client where it does not allow you to save workflows
Issue is seen due to a bug in GA version of this component.
Let's see on how to resolve this problem
Step:1
Download JGit cli client
curl -k --output jgit https://repo.eclipse.org/content/groups/releases//org/eclipse/jgit/org.eclipse.jgit.pgm/5.4.0.201906121030-r/org.eclipse.jgit.pgm-5.4.0.201906121030-r.sh
Step:2
Move jgit to /usr/bin, set it to executable and change its owner to vco
mv jgit /usr/bin/ chown vco:vco /usr/bin/jgit
Step:3
Remove the HEAD ref of the master
mv /storage/db/vcodata/git/__SYSTEM.git/refs/heads/master /var/lib/vco/master_ref.backup
Step:4
Check where the HEAD should be cd /storage/db/vcodata/git/__SYSTEM.git jgit log
Get the commit ref sha from the first line. ex: 01bb5f58716dc12016b4fd8798c7fa8c91c76bf3
Step:5
Login as vco
su - vco
Step:6
Create the master ref
echo '01bb5f58716dc12016b4fd8798c7fa8c91c76bf3' > /storage/db/vcodata/git/__SYSTEM.git/refs/heads/master
Step:7
Run jgit garbage collection
cd /storage/db/vcodata/git/__SYSTEM.git jgit gc
Step:8
Login as root again and make sure everything in the git folder is owned by vco:vco
exit cd /storage/db/vcodata/git/__SYSTEM.git chown -R vco:vco
Step:9
Restart vRO server
service vco-server restart
Step:10
Create a workflow and then try to save it , it should work as expected
