We recently upgraded to vRA 6.2.1 to get the VMRC function back and the fix a few other issues. After the upgrade all of our custom resource actions are no longer available in the VM action list. Have tried deleting and recreating the custom actions, re-entitling the actions, etc with no luck. Has anyone else upgraded to vRA 6.2.1 with custom resource actions?
Try running the below command from IAAS machine:
C:\Program Files (x86)\VMware\vCAC\Server\Model Manager Data\Cafe>Vcac-Config.exe RegisterCatalogTypes -v
I did the upgrade to 6.2.1 without any issues in our test environment. All of our custom resources are still available and work. I did have to go into vCO configuator and manually update the database by clicking a link.
Have you made any progress with this. I did a fresh install of 6.2.1 and I can't see any custom actions presented from advanced service designer either.
I ran "Vcac-Config.exe RegisterCatalogTypes -v" which returned successful. I then checked to see if any custom actions were showing up with no luck. I gracefully shut down all vRA related servers and then rebooted but that didn't help either.
I checked and the database is up to date. We are using the internal VCO service on the vRA appliance.
I haven't figured it out yet. I opened up a support ticket and uploaded the various logs from vRA, IaaS, VCO, etc. Of they find a fix I'll post it here.
Yes, this is a bug. There is a fix that is undergoing testing at the moment.

Hi, Any update on this or is the fix still being worked on as far as you are aware?
Is there a PR# we can reference? Is the fix out yet?
Thanks.
There is a workaround (SQL query). I'd call GSS to get it since there could be some adverse effects to your environment since I have no idea of what else you have in there.

Found this KB when submitting a support ticket.
We applied the hotfix and it worked for us. So far no issues with the custom actions. Thank you VMware; I no longer have to manually mount CD images for customers!
Excellent! Thanks for letting everybody know.
