Issue/Introduction

Version Control init shows unexpected behavior when running longer than 180 seconds.

During the init step, thousands of objects are uploaded, which takes longer than 180 minutes!

('POST', URL: 'https://<URL>:8088/ae/api/v1/<client>/repositories',) 

After 180 seconds, a pop-up appears in AWI displaying one of 2 messages: 

  1. Can't connect to any REST endpoint, please check if at least one REST is running and is reachable via the network
  2. [HTTP 500] (45110) An Automation Engine internal error occurred. No detail information available

 

According to the trace of the REST JCP a 2nd thread starts doing the same download of objects:

Starting a second REST process does not prevent the issue from happening

After the second thread started (thread 39), the initial one (thread 42) throws errors:

20240717/123709.427 - 42     U00045014 Exception 'com.automic.filesync.api.FileSyncException: "java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: ae-filesystem/<client>/<folder>/<object>"' at 'com.automic.filesync.impl.LegacyGenericApproach.exportObjectById():204'.
20240717/123709.428 - 42     U00045015 The previous error was caused by 'java.nio.file.NoSuchFileException: "ae-filesystem/<client>/<folder>/<object>"' at 'sun.nio.fs.UnixException.translateToIOException():92'.

This is the error in the AWI log:

Cause

DE129793

Resolution

Solution:

Update to a fix version listed below or a newer version if available.

Fix version:

Component(s): Automation Engine

Automation.Engine 24.4.2

IMPORTANT: Starting from this version, you set the AWI variable automationEngineTimeoutMilliseconds in configuration.properties to a higher value, e.g 1800000 (30 minutes), such that the loading of the Automic objects by Version Control doesn't exceed the timeout and restart.

Additional Information

A problem has been fixed that prevented the Git integration from working with many objects
