Environment

Aria Automation 8.18.0

Cause

Namespace was missing at the source location. In vCenter found that the namespace was not available, hence the synchronization or request to fetch the state of the resource was failing. 

Resolution

Ensure the deployed resource being requested is available at the endpoint for the synchronization to happen.
