WFA Exception with waitForCompletion

francoisbnc — Wed, 04 Jun 2025 20:06:36 GMT

Hi,

I experience following exception when launching waitForCompletion REST API after executeWorkflow

WFA 4.0.0.0.0 build 3670333

2016-07-05 09:13:45,002 WARNING [org.apache.cxf.phase.PhaseInterceptorChain] (default task-35) Interceptor for {http://ws.wfa.netapp.com/}WorkflowService_rpcService#{http://ws.wfa.netapp.com/}waitForCompletion has thrown exception, unwinding now: org.apache.cxf.interceptor.Fault: Could not send Message.

That works fine in 3.1.0.0.0 2879153

Any help appreciated.

Its a WFA SOAP api, not REST

I tried waitforcompletion on wfa 4.0 as you mentioned and it worked for me.

Now to debug this, can you tell me what is your client being used to call this API? Is it a powershell code? which version of powershell do you use. Can you share you code snippet. You can PM me if want.

The thing is WFA4.0 has upgraded some of its building block infrastructure sw. And we had encountered an error previously. So , let see

Have you been able to resolve this?

I see this as an issue with your Client ( python suds module ) with WFA4.0 Jboss 8.2.0. Not 100% certain but in the past I had come acoss an issue with Powershell and Jboss7.1 and that was showing similar behaviour in terms of not working with the latest WFA but working fine with the older one ( having older Jboss version)

I've tried the said APIS with Powershell and it works all fine. Also tried with other SOAP UI clients and they also work fine.

I've not worked extensively with python, so atm I'll not be able to suggest anything to solve this. But I'll look into it for sure.

If you have found some resolution, kindly post it here.

@sinhaa

The problem seems to be fixed now. No idea what appenned.

Probably it was relayed to a python version and modules.

Thank you for your support
