Log In Fails After Upgrade
You must exit the browser and log in again after an upgrade for sessions that use unsynchronized user
accounts.
Problem
After you upgrade vRealize Automation, the system denies access to unsynchronized user accounts at
login.
Solution
Exit the browser and relaunch vRealize Automation.
Catalog Items Appear in the Service Catalog After
Upgrade But Are Not Available to Request
Catalog items that use certain property definitions from prior versions appear in the service catalog but
are not available to request after upgrading to the latest version of vRealize Automation.
Problem
If you upgraded from a 6.2.x or earlier version and you had property definitions with the following control
types or attributes, the attributes are missing from the property definitions and any catalog items that use
the definitions do not function the way that they did before you performed the upgrade.
n
Control types. Check box or link.
n
Attributes. Relationship, regular expressions, or property layouts.
Cause
In vRealize Automation 7.0 and later, the property definitions no longer use the attributes. You must
recreate the property definition or configure the property definition to use a vRealize Orchestrator script
action rather than the embedded control types or attributes.
Migrate the control type or attributes to vRealize Automation 7.x using a script action.
Solution
1 In vRealize Orchestrator, create a script action that returns the property values. The action must
return a simple type. For example, return strings, integers, or other supported types. The action can
take the other properties on which it depends as an input parameter.
2 In vRealize Automation console, configure the product definition.
a Select Administration > Property Dictionary > Property Definitions.
b Select the property definition and click Edit.
c From the Display advice drop-down menu, select Dropdown.
d From the Values drop-down menu, select External Values.
