Issues with creating a catalog bundle and sending values to the AWX playbook

Automate
#1

I’ve been trying to follow blog articles and examples on how to create a Catalog bundle with a VM provision followed by an AWX job.

I followed this article - https://cloudformsblog.redhat.com/2017/11/02/cloudforms-service-bundle-creation-using-vm-provisioning-and-ansible-tower-automation-job/

but it does not seem to be passing the values through. If anyone has any guidance or direction on this. I am all ears.

#2

I managed to get the limit value to pass through (I forgot to unset my dialog on the ansible playbook, and disable display).

I am still hitting a brick wall though -

[----] E, [2020-02-24T21:08:23.703671 #4797:dcdbb50] ERROR – : Q-task_id([r1000000000589_service_template_provision_task_1000000001835]) Template Svr-Windows-Add_Domain_Grp_to_Srvr_Local_Grp launching failed. Reason: ‘PROMPT ON LAUNCH’ is required for the following fields: limit (MiqException::MiqOrchestrationProvisionError)

#3

There’s a ‘prompt on launch’ checkbox for the Limit field on the job template in AWX - this needs to be checked for MIQ to be able to override this job-defined limit with the one from the VM provision.

Hope this helps,
