Environment

Aria Suite Lifecycle 8.x

Cause

• This error can occur when a workflow attempting to be imported has a whitespace at the end of its name.
• The same error can occur if /library was a sub workflow folder name, Aria Automation Orchestrator will exclude the folder and the task will fail.
  

  In the endpoint section we normally specify the folder which we want to exclude, by default /Library and /System are included when endpoint is created. 

   

Resolution

• To resolve the issue check for and remove any whitespaces at the end of the Aria Automation Orchestrator workflow names

• Remove /library from the endpoint settings and point it to the direct folder
