Service binding failing with "Warning: Service instance creation in progress, any requested bindings could not be created automatically"

Products

• VMware Tanzu Application Service

Issue/Introduction

 

Apps manager UI allows users to create managed or user provided service instances and bind to applications in one step.

This results in a warning "Warning: Service instance creation in progess, any requested bindings could not be created automatically".

Environment

Tanzu Application Service 

Resolution

When creating a managed or user provided service instance, there is a check for the response from  CAPI. If after a certain timeout, CAPI returns the following response: JobPollingTimedOut. Apps manager attempts to obtain the resource every second thirty times. So the polling timeout is 30 seconds.

This means that the service instance is still being created and apps manager cannot bind an app to a service instance that has not yet been created. 

This is currently as designed to provide users access back to the user interface while service instances are being created noting that service bindings cannot be created with the warning. Those bindings must happen manually, later once the instance is created.
