Issue/Introduction
Symptoms: In vRealize Automation 8.4.1, when creating a new workflow in vRealize Orchestrator with an input of type array of sdk-objects, you are not able to select an action for a default value and/or value options in the multi-value picker component.
Environment
VMware vRealize Automation 8.4.x
Cause
The input form designer is not able to create the proper request for listing actions that return an array of sdk-objects when using the multi-value picker input component.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in vRealize Automation 8.4.2+.
Workaround:
Prerequisites
Ensure there are valid snapshots and/or backups before proceeding.
Take simultaneous VM snapshots without memory of all vRA nodes.
Procedure
Stage the Patch in vRSLCM
Download the attached rpm file vrlcm-vra-8.4.1-8.4.1.16960.patch located in the Attachments section.
Copy the rpm file to the vRLSCM appliance under /data.
Login to the vRSLCM portal and open Settings > Binary Mappings > Patch Binaries.
Click on ADD PATCH BINARY, specify /data as Source Location, click DISCOVER.
Select vrlcm-vra-8.4.1.-8.4.1.16960.patch and add the binary.
Install the Patch through vRSLCM
Select the vRA 8.4.1 environment followed by Patches > Install Patch.
Select Patch 8.4.1.16960
Complete the Patch wizard to start the Patch workflow.
Once the Patch is complete, refresh the vRA web page with Ctrl+F5 and verify the external actions selection works as expected.
Note:
Running this procedure causes no downtime within vRA.
The product version in the UI will not change after the hotfix is applied.
Installing the Patch through vRLSCM may be repeated for each vRA 8.4.1 environment registered within the same vRSLCM instance.
