WFA 4.2 - not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 685, byte 695 at /usr/lib64/perl5/ve

Hi,

 

I installed the WFA 4.2 on RHEL 7.4 (with some trouble).

The restore of a WFA 4.1 backup was successful.

I haven't tried all workflows, but they are failing on a certain point. One is the creation of a qtree in a volume.

 

The workflow dies with the message: 

 

not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 685, byte 695 at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/XML/Parser.pm line 187.
Location: Row '1' step 'Create qtree'.

The API seems to be ok if I invoke it on the command line. The qtree is created:

 

require 5.6.1;
use lib '/opt/wfa/wfa/perl/nmsdk';
use strict;
use warnings;
use NaServer;
use NaElement;


my $s = new NaServer('SVM-Name', 1 , 130);
$s->set_server_type('FILER');
$s->set_transport_type('HTTPS');
$s->set_port(443);
$s->set_style('LOGIN');
$s->set_admin_user('Username', 'Password');



my $api = new NaElement('qtree-create');
$api->child_add_string('export-policy','default');
#$api->child_add_string('mode','');
$api->child_add_string('oplocks','disabled');
$api->child_add_string('qtree','testQtree');
$api->child_add_string('security-style','unix');
$api->child_add_string('volume','Testvolume');

my $xo = $s->invoke_elem($api);
if ($xo->results_status() eq 'failed') {
    print 'Error:\n';
    print $xo->sprintf();
    exit 1;
}

print 'Received:\n';
print $xo->sprintf();

Does someone have an idea where to get more detailed information? Where can I seen the commands passed to the API?

Problem solved.

 

The DB restore doesn't restore the passwords.

 

Works now.

The restoring a backup *will* restore the passwords too, if you take the FULL backup instead of the DB backup. How to take the FULL backup? There is no GUI button given for it, but API on method GET is given which does it.

 

So in your browser URL, provide : http://<WFA>/rest/backups?full=true

 

Provide the credentials of 'Admin' when asked.

 

you will get full backup, with passwords.

Hi,

 

I used the DB backup function.

 

According to the documentation at page 41:

 

Backup and restoration of user credentials
The backup of the WFA database includes the WFA user credentials.

It should include the passwords. So the documentation is wrong?

 

Furthermore, I would like to have an useful error message for missing credentials.
