| Requests for 20 instances of a Windows blueprint, most instance fail with 'optimistic locking failed' message | For blueprints with large numbers of components and complex dependencies between them - and hence very complex execution plans - the task notification sometimes failed with a StaleObjectStateException or ObjectOptimisticLockingFailureException if multiple completion notifications were sent to the same waiting task at roughly the same time. A sample error would look similar to the following: org.hibernate.StaleObjectStateException: Row was updated or deleted by another transaction (or unsaved-value mapping was incorrect): [com.vmware.vcac.composition.domain.ComponentRequest#df3ac7e3-7663-408b-9331-5609f1ccf323] 2018-08-15 03:27:23,999 vcac: [component="cafe:composition-service" priority="ERROR" thread="composition-service-subscrAmqpExec-9" tenant="vsphere.local" context="f1GmUY5l" parent="VGCxpFUw" token="K0z6gF8r"] com.vmware.vcac.platform.service.util.TransactionRetryAspect.execute:45 - Maximum number of attempts (3) reached 2018-08-15 03:27:24,001 vcac: [component="cafe:composition-service" priority="ERROR" thread="composition-service-subscrAmqpExec-9" tenant="vsphere.local" context="f1GmUY5l" parent="VGCxpFUw" token="K0z6gF8r"] com.vmware.vcac.composition.service.impl.ComponentRequestCompletionServiceImpl.updateDependentCRs:278 - Error during attempt to notify dependent CRs of a CR completion.

| When trying to complete new request form, the wizard returns to the initial request screen | If there are errors with a field that is not visible, xaas pages do not navigate linearly (next takes you to the following page). Rather, it takes you to either an empty page or to the first page. This is because custom validation errors are beind tried to be rendered for an inivsible field, for which a user has no direct action. | HF6 | 7.5 |
| Users cannot see owned items when Owned By Me is selected. | If the values in 'requestedby' and 'requestedfor' fields are changed in a case insensitive way (eg: 'user@domain.local' to 'UsEr@Domain.LocaL'), catalog-server treats the two values as distinct users and doesn't show the appropriate catalog items to the user under the Items tab. | HF6 | 7.5 |
Missing request schemas for machine day-2 operations create-snapshot and change-lease. | An HTTP error, 404 (Not Found) is returned, instead of a valid schema, when using the vRA REST API to obtain the request schemas for the machine-level, day-2 operations, "Change Lease" and "Create Snapshot". | HF5 | 7.5 |
ASD creates two duplicate workflow items for same request. | A XaaS blueprint with user interaction sometimes results with two manual user actions instead of one. The issue only appears in HA environment. | HF5 | 7.5 |
vCenter new machine name cannot be found in items search page. | If the machine name is changed directly on vCenter then a state data collection is run right after, then the new name appears in the items page but cannot be found via search. | HF5 | 7.5 |

When adding multiple disks during reconfigure operation, of day 2 operation, "xxxxx.vmdk already exists" error returns if reservation is on a single datastore (No SDRS is used in reservation). | Error message: | HF5 | 7.5 |
Switching between form pages can be slow when a workflow is created with many inter-field dependencies and custom validations for workflow inputs. | This behavior is caused by excessive custom validation of workflow inputs. | HF5 | TBD |
Provisioning fails when deploying an OVF template with additional disks to an SDRS cluster. | If a blueprint component uses the ImportOvfWorkflow, and at least one additional disk has been added to to it, provisioning will fail with a message similar to the following, if the VM is allocated to an SDRS cluster: | HF5 | 7.5 |

Deploying OVF/OVA Blueprint fails to apply property values where the property name contains uppercase characters. | When deploying an OVF/OVA template that contains user-configurable OVF properties, the property values specified by the requestor are not applied to the resulting virtual machine. You might notice that instead of the specified values being applied, the default values defined in the OVF template itself are applied. | Pre-HF5 | 7.5 |
