I'm trying to convert a vRO 7 server that has a large inventory over to vRA 8. A workflow that works fine in vRO 7 seems to have a strange bug popping up in vRA 8. There is a scriptable task that runs through all of the vm's generating a csv for another team. It is running through around 4000 hosts and 77,000 vms. It gets to around 3500 hosts worth of the inventory after about 4 hours running then seems to restart. So I'm wondering if I am bumping up against a timer or memory issue? Not sure on vRO 8 where to further debug it. There is no error the scriptable task just restarts so its stuck in a loop never finishing. I'm wondering if maybe I just need to add some additional memory to the appliance but I've not seen a process for doing so with vRO 8. We always needed to with vRO 7.
Attaching an image of a current run. Shows max time as all zeroes so I assume that means it can run forever.
So it looks like 57 minutes ago the scriptable task restarted... same workflow now shows that step with a run time of 57 minutes
Logs show this you can see on the 3rd line where the log shows the scriptable task item11 kicking off again start time in logs was 15:53 and it restarts at 19:33 so it ran for 3 hours and 40 minutes:
