Environment

Cause

• AMQP Brokers - Notifications are not enabled in vCD
• TCA-CP mongo DB not in sync with the vCD DB.

Resolution

1. Enable AMQP Brokers - Notifications
   1. Log into vCD UI, go to Extensibility, and enable the AMQP Brokers - Notifications.
2. Validate TCA-CP DB sync:
   1. SSH to the TCA-CP.
   2. Query the org count:
      mongo hybridity
> db.Org.count()
      
      If the cout is 0, the DBs are not synched. Proceed with the next step.
      
      
   3. Reset the VcdInventoryRefreshStatus table:
      mongo hybridity
db.VcdInventoryRefreshStatus.drop()
3. Restart the TCA Application service:
   1. Go to TCA-Manager UI > Appliance configuration >  Application service
4. Confirm the count has increased
   1. SSH to the TCA-CP.
   2. Query the org count:
      mongo hybridity
> db.Org.count()
5. Try validating the vCD endpoint again through the TCA-M to complete the configuration.
