AWI: Stacktrace error - com.uc4.api.objects.CyclicException The Workflow must not contain cycles.

Products

• CA Automic Workload Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

When creating a workflow, if you have two tasks that refer to each other as dependencies, upon saving you will see a stack trace with the following:

com.uc4.api.objects.CyclicException: The Workflow must not contain cycles.

Environment

Release : 12.2, 12.3

Component : AUTOMATION ENGINE

Cause

The error 'The Workflow must not contain cycles' is as designed; a workflow can not be created where it would be unable to fully complete (a cyclic workflow). 

The stack trace is part of incorrect error handling.

Resolution

This has been fixed as part of AWI 12.3.3
