Resolving Deployment Error Code 4049 (Resource Limit)

Last Updated: 2025-10-25 | Reading Time: 3 min

Error Code 4049 typically indicates that your automation deployment has exceeded a predefined resource limit, such as maximum memory usage or CPU time allocation. This often happens with recursive or highly data-intensive tasks.

Steps to Troubleshoot:

  1. Review Logs: Check the deployment logs for the specific moment the error was triggered. Look for large data loads or unexpected loops.
  2. Optimize Logic: Refactor your automation workflow to process data in smaller batches rather than all at once (e.g., use pagination for API calls).
  3. Increase Allocation (If Applicable): If optimization is not feasible, navigate to your Project Settings and check if your current subscription plan allows for increased resource allocation. Upgrade if necessary.
  4. Testing: Redeploy a small, test version of the workflow to confirm the resource ceiling has been addressed.

Debugging API Connection Timeouts and Authorization Failures

Last Updated: 2025-10-20 | Reading Time: 4 min

When your automation fails to connect to a third-party API, the issue usually falls into one of two categories: Authorization (e.g., incorrect keys) or Connectivity (e.g., firewall or timeout).

Authorization Checklist:

  • Verify the API Key or OAuth Token is correct and has not expired.
  • Ensure the API key is passed using the correct HTTP header (e.g., `Authorization: Bearer `).
  • Check that the IP address of your AIVRA deployment server is whitelisted by the target API provider (if they use IP restrictions).

Connectivity Troubleshooting:

If authorization is correct, the issue is likely a timeout:

  • Test the API endpoint manually using a tool like Postman to verify external accessibility and response speed.
  • Increase the Timeout Setting within your automation's API call configuration from the default 30 seconds to 60 or 90 seconds.
  • If the target server is known to be slow, implement a retry mechanism in your workflow.

Diagnosing and Fixing Automation Performance Bottlenecks

Last Updated: 2025-10-18 | Reading Time: 3 min

Slow automation execution often stems from inefficient data handling or redundant steps. Here is how to analyze and improve the speed of your deployed workflow.

Optimization Points:

Database Queries: Analyze if your automation is retrieving too much data. Use `WHERE` clauses and `SELECT` only the necessary fields instead of `SELECT *`.

UI Interactions: If your automation involves simulating user clicks on a web interface (RPA), ensure you are using stable selectors (IDs over XPath) and adding small, necessary wait times to let the page load completely.

Parallelization: For processing large lists of independent items, restructure your workflow to use parallel processing or batch queuing instead of a sequential loop.

Troubleshooting SSO and User Authentication Failures

Last Updated: 2025-10-15 | Reading Time: 2 min

If users or services cannot log into the AIVRA portal or your integrated applications via SSO, review the following configuration points.

Key Checks for SSO (SAML/OAuth):

  • Metadata Exchange: Ensure the Service Provider (SP) metadata (from AIVRA) and the Identity Provider (IdP) metadata (from your organization) are up-to-date and correctly exchanged.
  • User Attributes: Verify that the IdP is sending the required user attributes (especially email and username) in the SAML assertion or OAuth claim.
  • Time Skew: Check that your system clock is correctly synchronized. Minor time discrepancies can cause security token validation to fail.

Missing or Incorrect Environment Variable Values

Last Updated: 2025-10-10 | Reading Time: 2 min

A common cause of unexpected behavior is an environment variable being missing, misspelled, or containing an incorrect value (e.g., a test key instead of a production key).

Verification Process:

  1. Check Scope: Confirm that the variable is defined for the correct environment (e.g., `Production` vs. `Staging`).
  2. Verify Naming: Variable names are case-sensitive. Ensure the name in your code/workflow exactly matches the name defined in the AIVRA settings.
  3. Check Values: If the variable is a secret (e.g., a password or key), refresh it and ensure the new value is stored correctly in the variable vault.
  4. Test Deployment: Create a temporary log step in your workflow to print the variable's *value* (for non-secrets) or its *existence* (for secrets) before running the critical step that uses it.
