    Identifier: validation error: cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account: missing mandatory fields: XXXX,XXXX

Release

  • All

Cause

  1. Testing azurecli with command az vm list --subscription <<SubscriptionID>>
  2. If the above command returns an error then the issue is with missing data for fields as mentioned in the error.
  3. If the above command retrieves the Virtual Machines , then the issue is due to mis-configuration of table 'cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account' dictionary.



Resolution

  1. If the issues is with missing data for fields as mentioned in the error then make sure to update the service account with required fields.
    Example : AccountID,Name etc.
  2. If the issue is due to mis-configuration of table , review the OOB fields and note only AccoundID,Name are mandatory fields for this table.



  3. Correct mandatory as false, if custom fields or fields mentioned in the error are marked as mandatory apart from OOB.
