Workaround:

  1. Log in to BMC Deployment Engine.
  2. Run the following command:
    kubectl get deployment -n <BMC Helix Innovation Suite> |grep -i gpt
    Sample command output:
    helix-gpt-assistant            1/1     1            1           45d
    helix-gpt-data-connection      1/1     1            1           45d

     
  3. To edit the helix-gpt-assistant deployment, run the following command:
    kubectl edit deployment helix-gpt-assistant -n <BMC Helix Innovation Suite namespace>
     
  4. In the helix-gpt-assistant deployment, add the following environment variable:
    - name: ONLY_USE_LOCAL_HF_CACHE
      value: 'true'
  5. To edit the helix-gpt-data-connection deployment, run the following command:
    kubectl edit deployment helix-gpt-data-connection -n <BMC Helix Innovation Suite namespace>

BMC Helix Service Management

If the sr-input-file.sh file is missing in CUSOTMER_CONFIGS repository, the HELIX_DB_REFRESH pipeline fails to execute successfully.

Workaround:

  1. In your Smart Reporting environment, create a copy of the sr-input-file.sh file.
  2. In your source BMC Helix Service Management environment, perform the following steps:
    1. To create the onprem-remedyserver-config directory, run the following command:
      git clone onprem-remedyserver-config.git
    2. Copy the sr-input-file.sh file you created in step 1 to the /home/git/git_repo/CUSTOMER_CONFIGS/onprem-remedyserver-config/customer/<CUSTOMER_SERVICE> location.
    3. To commit the changes, run the following commands:git add -A
      git commit -am "sr input file added"
      git push origin master

       

  3. In your target BMC Helix Service Management environment, perform steps 2a to 2c.
  4. Copy the SOURCE_CUSTOMER_CONFIGS and TARGET_CUSTOMER_CONFIGS repositories to the environment where you want to run the database refresh pipeline.
    For example, to run the database refresh pipeline in the target environment, make sure that the following repositories are present in the git repository of the target environment:
    • SOURCE_CUSTOMER_CONFIGS
    • TARGET_CUSTOMER_CONFIGS
    • DB_REFRESH_REPO

During the execution of the HELIX_DB_REFRESH pipeline, the user interface does not provide an option to skip component stages that are not being used.

Workaround:

  1. To bypass a stage for a specific component, create blank placeholder files with designated names and place them in the following directory:  
    <CUSTOM WORKSPACE LOCATION>/HELIX_DB_REFRESH/completedtasks
  2. Run the HELIX_DB_REFRESH pipeline by using the RERUN option.

BMC Helix Service Management

During the upgrade of BMC Helix Service Management to version 25.3.01, the HELIX_ONPREM_DEPLOYMENT pipeline might become stuck at the platform rolling upgrade or platform FTS stage if any FTS pods are already down before the rolling restart begins.

Workaround: Delete all the pods from the respective stateful set. To force a fresh start, manually delete the pods using the following command:
kubectl delete pod <pod name>

Workaround:

If you are using an air-gapped environment, perform the following steps:

  1. Scale down the Clam AV deployment to zero.
  2. On the AR System Configuration Generic UI form, set the configuration setting Enable-Attachment-Validation-Plugin value as false.
    See Configuration settings E-M.

If your environment has access to internet, unwait till the cool-down period is complete.
