Hello!
We have following configuration:
vCenter Server 5.5
Virtual Storage Console 4.2.1
We have configured all required backup jobs and there are working.
But since today we aren’t able to view/edit the backup job list in VSC.
We get the following error:
Failed to retrieve backup job list. Reason: FLOW-11019: Failure in ListJobAction: java.lang.ClassCastException
The restore view is working correctly:
Have anyone an idea?
Thanks
Dave

Thanks for your Answer.
The knowledgebase article describes what to if the Backup and Recovery feature no longer works.
In our case the recovery feature works fine and backups were made correct.
Only the view/edit of the backup scheduler does not work.
Here is our smvi.config:

Please check in the backups.xml file if the UUIDs for all the virtual machines to be backed up are listed correctly. Changing the structure of the data store (moving VMs etc ) may change the UUID of the vms.
In the backups.xml file ( responsible for the backup job ) each VM is pointed out as a name and UUID

I have the same problem with vCenter Server 5.5 and VSC 4.2.1 in the datacenter view, but i can see all my backup-jobs in the plugin view.

Thanks Robin
That’s exactly my problem!
With the workaround “plugin view” everything is showed correctly.
Seems to be a bug in the datacenter view.

Hi there,
same problem here. Problem occurs only in datacenter view.
Not critical, but still annoying. We would appreciate a solution for this...

Hello,
all mappings in backups.xml are correct.
Here are two event log entries which are generated each time this error occurs.
