Any workflow in Aria Orchestrator that involves vCenter operations fails with the Error: "TypeError: Cannot read property 'id' from undefined."

Products

• VMware Aria Suite

Issue/Introduction

• The workflow fails with the following error:

  • TypeError: Cannot read property "id" from undefined

• The workflow, which previously executed successfully, started failing after a decommissioned vCenter instance was referenced

Environment

• Aria Automation 8.x

• Aria Orchestrator 8.x

Cause

• The workflow error is caused by lingering deployments associated with the decommissioned vCenter server

• Even though the vCenter was removed from Assembler > Infrastructure > Connections > Cloud Accounts and Assembler > Infrastructure > Configure > Cloud Zones, instances of the decommissioned vCenter remained in active deployments

• The workflow attempts to access properties (specifically, "id") of the decommissioned vCenter, which are no longer available, leading to the "undefined" error

Resolution

• Identify Deployments: In Service Broker, navigate to Deployments and filter by Cloud Accounts to locate deployments associated with the decommissioned vCenter

• Delete Deployments: Delete all deployments that reference the decommissioned vCenter

• Rerun Workflow: Rerun the custom workflow

Additional Information

• Ensure that all deployments related to any decommissioned Cloud Accounts are removed before executing dependent workflows
