WFA intermittently not returning defined Returned Parameters.

d_ellis — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 23:15:53 GMT

I've defined a few return parameters as part of a resize volume workflow and through testing I've found that somtimes WFA will not return any of parameters.. Has anyone else noticed this behavior?

Returned Parameters Defined:

Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name VolUuid -Value (Get-NaVol $VolumeName).uuid -AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name VolStatus -Value (Get-NaVol $VolumeName).state-AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name VolAggr -Value (Get-NaVol $VolumeName).Aggregate -AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name VolVfiler -Value (Get-NaVol $VolumeName).OwningVfiler -AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name totalSpaceAllocated -Value $totalSpace -AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name primarySpaceAllocated -Value $primarySpaceAllocated -AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name snapshotReserveAllocated -Value $snapshotReserveAllocated -AddAsReturnParameter $true
Add-WfaWorkflowParameter -Name aggrCapacityCommited -Value $aggrCapacityCommited -AddAsReturnParameter $true

First Execution....Return Parameters are here

Execution 20 min later against the same volume...... no returned parameters.

d_ellis,

This seems to be a bug in WFA w.r.t. this Cmdlet Add-WfaWorkflowParameter. It doesn't happen all the time but once in a while, all or some of the added parameters are not returned at the end of execution. I've been able to reproduce the issue locally.

I'll log a bug with WFA. You can raise a customer case with NetApp to track its progress.

Your inconvinience is regretted.

d_ellis,

A WFA bug with ID: 951350 has been filed. You can raise a case with NetApp and refer to this ID for tracking its progress.

If we find out some workaround or a resolution, I'll update this thread.
