Troubleshooting a vRealize Orchestrator Workow That Does Not Run for an Approval Request on
page 43
You congured a pre-approval or post-approval workow subscription to run a vRealize Orchestrator

Troubleshooting a Rejected Approval Request on page 43
You congure a pre-approval or post-approval workow subscription that runs the specied
vRealize Orchestrator workow, but the request is unexpectedly rejected.
Troubleshooting vRealize Orchestrator Workflows That Do Not Start
You congure a workow subscription to run a custom workow when the event message is received, but
the workow does not run.
Solution
1 Verify that you published the workow subscription.
2 Verify that the workow subscription conditions are congured correctly.
3 Verify that the vRealize Orchestrator server has the specied workow.
Troubleshooting Provisioning Requests That Take Too Much Time
An IaaS machine take ten or more hours to provision.
Cause
If you congured a workow subscription to trigger on a provisioning state, you might have two instances
of the manager service running in your environment.
Solution
u
Verify that you have only one instance of the manager services is active. If both are on you will also see
errors like this in the logs.
If you have more than one, an error similar to the following error message appears in the manager
services logs.
