The message is pointing to ":"'refreshToken' can not be null

Environment

Aria automation orchestrator 8.x

Aria automation 8.x

Cause

This is caused because the refresh token is missing from the configuration of orchestrator

Resolution

1.Run this command to obtain the refresh token

     curl --insecure -H "Accept: application/json" -H 'Content-Type: application/json' --data '{"username":"<username>","password":"<password>"}' https://<vra-host>/csp/gateway/am/api/login?access_token

2.Open vRO--> go to Assets --> Configurations and look for the configuration that is utilized by Aria automation
            This configuration is used internally by the Orchestrator workflow to deploy cloud templates

3.Edit the variable refresh token and update the refresh token that is obtained by step 1

4.Rerun the workflow/Provisioning
