Backup Copies of .xml Files Cause the System to Time Out
vRealize Automation registers any le with an .xml extension in
the \VMware\vCAC\Server\ExternalWorkows\xmldb\ directory. If this directory contains backup les
with an .xml extension, the system runs duplicate workows that cause the system to time out.
Solution
Workaround: When you back up les in this directory, move the backups to another directory, or change the
extension of the backup le name to something other than .xml.
