WCC Error: the k8s_job metadata version for the AutoSys server is higher than the WebUI supported versions

Products

• Autosys Workload Automation

Issue/Introduction

After upgrading the Kubernetes plugin for Autosys, you cannot create jobs in the Web Control Center (WCC).

The system displays the following error: the k8s_job metadata version for the AutoSys server is higher than the WebUI supported versions

Environment

• Autosys Workload Automation 24.X
• Kubernetes-1.0.XX Plugin
• WebUI version 12.1 SP1 CUM1 (99112020) or higher

Cause

The error occurs because the import of the WCC metadata was not completed.
The installation requires specific manual steps to synchronize metadata after the plugin files are installed.

Resolution

Prerequisites

• Minimum WebUI version 12.1 SP1 CUM1 (99112020)
• Access to PluginInstaller
• WCC dynamic_object_type utility

Steps to Resolve

1. Verify File Installation Ensure new plugin files were successfully installed using the PluginInstaller.

2. Update Autosys Metadata Run the AutoSys metadata script to update the server-side definitions.

3. Import WCC Metadata You must set a mandatory environment variable before executing the import utility.

   Linux:

   bash

   export WEBUI_CLI_DYN_OBJECT_MODE=0
   [AUTOSYS_INSTALL_LOCATION]/wcc/bin/dynamic_object_type.sh --user [username] --password [password] --import [path-to-file]/[JOB_TYPE].txt

   Windows:

   cmd

    

   set WEBUI_CLI_DYN_OBJECT_MODE=0"[AUTOSYS_INSTALL_LOCATION]\wcc\bin\dynamic_object_type.bat" --user [username] --password [password] --import "[path-to-file][JOB_TYPE].txt"

   Note: If the job type does not already exist, a "Failed to delete" error may occur; this is expected behavior during the insertion process.

4. Refresh Services Restart or refresh the Autosys and WCC services to apply changes.

Verification

• Open WCC and confirm Job Objects can be created without metadata version errors.
