CLoudForms 4.7 retirement issues

Question
#1

Greetings,

I’m trying to create custom button that will retire the service. I’m using the following code for that

$evm.root['service'].retire_now

Retirement tasks stars fine, but then just fails with the error below

[----] E, [2019-09-30T17:03:06.514415 #15974:3d6c4c] ERROR -- : <AEMethod start_retirement> Service retire task not found

Can anyone advise me how to start service retirement from automation datastore?

Hi Kenny,

Retirement was changed recently to include a request and now the retire_now method doesn’t work. The following BZs address exposing the new service retirement to Automate.

Looks like should be in the next release CFME 5.10.11.
