Starting Workflow not possible with Rapid Automation error pop-up.

[ADRIAN Northage]

Hi Everyone,

I am wondering if anyone else has experienced this before. When trying to start a specific workflow through a schedule we receive this error message:

 "To execute this type of workflow you need to switch the the Release Automation perspective."

We do not have Rapid Automation, so we do not have a Rapid Automation Perspective.

We can execute the workflow manually outside of the Schedule using a script to execute it and the schedule does start the workflow automatically. It is when we try to manually start the workflow, within the Schedule or outside of the schedule we receive the error.

Has anyone else encountered this or know why we receive the error?

Regards,

Adrian.

Hi @ADRIAN Northage

I assume you talk about the offering Continues Delivery Automation and/or the component Release Manager.

Please export the workflow (using XML) and check the values of WFTypeA and/or WFTypeC in the section DEPLOYMENT. I assume one of them is set to 1 like here

<DEPLOYMENT state="1">
<DeploymentFlag>1</DeploymentFlag>
<WFTypeA>1</WFTypeA>
<WFTypeC>0</WFTypeC>
<AppName>My CDA Application</AppName>
<WFName>Deploy</WFName>
<ComponentName/>
</DEPLOYMENT>

Therefore, the system has the impression that this is an CDA workflow.

You can also check the values directly in the database (if you have access) in table JPA and the fields JPA_Deployment and JPA_WFType.

(see https://docs.automic.com/documentation/webhelp/english/ARA/24.3/AE/24.3/DB%20Schema/db/_structure/HTML/JPA.html )

In order to convert the workflow in a "regular" workflow please set the fields JPA_Deployment and JPA_WFType to 0. Please also check also these fields for your workflows' templates.

Hope this helps

Michael
