09-01-2024 Federico Cinalli

  And finally, this is the latest part of the VCF 50 Concepts series, but not the end! Because way more is coming.

Every Task has its Token ID. When it comes to troubleshooting, it is critical to identify the Token ID of the failed subtask because it will make it easier to find the source of the problem on the proper log files.You can find the Token ID in the Tasks view in the UI of the SDDC Manager, expanding the workflow task and identifying the failed subtask. opID: This is the Operation ID f...
