Resolution

This is an issue introduced in the following versions of TAS:

• 2.11.42
• 2.13.24
• 3.0.14
• 4.0.5

This has been fixed in the following versions of TAS:

• 2.11.43
• 2.13.25
• 3.0.15
• 4.0.6

As a workaround, the script can be edited manually. To do this:

1. bosh ssh to the backup_restore VM in the CF deployment
2. vim /var/vcap/jobs/lock-unlock-pcf-autoscaling/bin/bbr/post-backup-unlock
3. Replace the following lines of code:

Line 14:

if [ ! authenticated ]; then

Replace with:

if [ "$authenticated" != true ]; then

Line 40:

if [ ! targeted ]; then

Replace with:

if [ "$targeted" != true ]; then

Line 50:

 if [ ! app_found ]; then

Replace with:

 if [ "$app_found" != true ]; then
