Products

• CA Continuous Delivery Automation - Automation Engine

Issue/Introduction

Affects Release version(s): 5;6

Error Message :
U00010015 Activation of RunID '' was aborted by :STOP NOMSG. Additional Information: 'HEADER: STOP WINDOWS RUNBOOK BECAUSE IT'S A AGENT'"

An additional space is added to the dynamic property of a Component within a Workflow after performing a deep import/import within the Application.  This additional space causes the execution of the Workflow to fail and the above errors are displayed.

Investigation

• Create Dynamic Properties where type is Agent Reference (e.g. /Reference). Set value to existing Agent name.
• In the Component Workflow, drag and drop an Action (e.g. Restart Tomcat Server) into the Promptset Tab of the Action, set "Overwirte Agent" with value EXT:\Reference.
• Execute the Workflow.  The first time it will execute successfully.

• DeepExport the Application to a zip file.
• Then DeepImport the zip file without any changes.
• Execute the Workflow again.

The action fails with a message from AE:

U00010015 Activation of '[email protected]' RunID '0001018098' was aborted by :STOP NOMSG. Additional Information: 'HEADER: STOP WINDOWS RUNBOOK BECAUSE IT'S A AGENT'"

 

Checking the information generated in the Deployment Context (this can be seen from the History of Execution in ARA), the following text can be seen, "WINDOWS:<space>", before agent name.
