ReleaseClient.GetReleaseDefinitionsAsync() call suddently started failing with JsonSerializationException - azure-pipelines-release-pipeline

One of the customer asked us the following question.
I am using microsoft.visualstudio.services.release.client\15.130.0-preview to get a list of release definitions with triggers in my team project.
await releaseHttpClient.GetReleaseDefinitionsAsync(project, null, ReleaseDefinitionExpands.Triggers);
It was working so far but from last 1 month or so it started failing and I have started running into this error:
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred.
---> Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException:
Error converting value "tfsGit" to type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio.Services.ReleaseManagement.WebApi.PullRequestSystemType'.
Path 'pullRequestConfiguration.codeRepositoryReference.systemType',
line 1, position 238033.
---> System.ArgumentException: Requested value 'tfsGit' was not found
How should I come out of this?

The answer we gave was: -
In last 1 month, new release definitions got added in your project which started using pull request based trigger whose source code repository is tfsgit. Since your client library is more than a year old (15.130.0), it does not have those types.
So you should update your client library to latest and then it should work. You can find the latest client library here.

Why my Soffid JSON REST Web Services Connector does not update an object in the target system?

I am trying to connect my Soffid 3 server with our custom web application named Schrift. I am using а JSON REST Web Services Connector for this purpose. I added REST Web service plugin and then configured an agent with JSON/XML/SOAP Rest webservice type.
Loading of objects is working fine. My REST connector connects to the web service successfully and gets data of the accounts.
The problem is when I am trying to update some data (for example, I am trying to lock an account), nothing happens. And unfortunately I don't know what should be happening. When should REST connector send updated data to the managed system and in which way? I didn't find any log entries saying that REST connector was trying to update an object on managed system. Maybe I did smth wrong or missed something.
I would appreciate for any help. I can post any conf or log details if you need.
Update#1
(I did some investigation after the first answer)
I checked the agent settings: Read only and Manual account creation are set to no
The account was set to unmanaged type, but I succeeded in changing its type to shared and then to single without getting an error. Now it is set to single
The task queue is empty.
Also I've checked that update method is present and update properties are set correctly. updateParams is not set (it means that all attributes should be sent to the managed system).
But when I change status of the account (from Enable to Disable), nothing happens.
In the console log I can see only these lines
14-Sep-2021 13:26:29.708 INFO [BPM-Scheduler:192.168.7.121:1] com.soffid.iam.bpm.job.JobExecutorThread.run No job to execute
When I manually run the task Analize impact for changes on Schrift, Execution log shows
Changes detected for accounts
=============================
NO CHANGE DETECTED
Changes detected for roles
=============================
NO CHANGE DETECTED
Update#2
After many attempts I made some progress. Now when I make some changes in the account, the task named UpdateAccount baklykov#irf.com.ua#Schrift appears, but runs with an error.
At first it was 415 Unsupported Media Type error as I wrote in comments, but now it looks a little different
Throws exception updating object : Extensible object [type = account]
EmployeeEmail: baklykov#irf.com.ua
IsLockedOut: true (log truncated) ...
caused by Unexpected response, Content-Type: null
Update#3
I found out that soffid's request for updating the object was in improper format (all the parameters were passed in the html request instead of putting them in json body)
After researching I found a method's property called Encoding and set it to application/json value.
Now the parameters are passed in json body (that's what I need), but now the problem is that soffid puts all the parameters in json body, including the key parameter by which the object for updating should be determined. My guess this is the reason why the object in the target system is still not updated.
In other words my application expects a request like this:
https://myapp.mysite.com/api/v1/Soffid/Employees?EmployeeEmail=baklykov%40irf.com.ua :
{"EmployeeLastName":"Baklykov","EmployeeFirstName":"Ivan"}
but Soffid sends this:
https://myapp.mysite.com/api/v1/Soffid/Employees:
{"EmployeeLastName":"Baklykov","EmployeeFirstName":"Ivan","EmployeeEmail":"baklykov#irf.com.ua"}
The system should have created a UpdateAccount task in the task queue. Please, verify:
The task engine is in automatic mode. In read-only or manual mode, no task will be created.
If you are updating an account, check the account is not set as unmanaged. In that case, no tasks is created.
Finally, verify the task queue has not held the task up.
Have you checked the engine mode? Look at Main Menu > Administration > Configure Soffid > Integration engine > Smart engine settings
It should be set to automatic.

Model derivative translate job giving status code 409 (CONFLICT)

How to fix status code 409 for translate job.
There are two types of problems I am facing.
1. Sometimes API returns error status code 409(conflict)
2. Sometimes it continuously gives in progress status and never completes or fails even.
Once any of the above error occurs, any subsequent job requests starts failing with error code 409.
We are trying node js API for translating job using following code.
let translateResult = derivativesAPI.translate(job, { 'xAdsForce': true }, forgeSvc.requestOAuth2TwoLeggedOBJ(), accessToken);
First try to delete manifest for the stuck/pending request file,
If that doesn't works , last option is to delete the bucket with pending/stuck translation request and then try again.
As per documentation, the 409 means:
The request conflicts with a previous request that is still in progress
As you mentioned a previous request failed, but is pending on our system and causes this conflict. Is that happening consistently with a file? Or random? When it fails (or hangs), what's the manifest? Finally, can you share a problematic URN?
EDIT: the file is working now and we'll keep investigating this.

Spinnaker Jenkins Integration unable to fetch jobs from Jenkins

We have completed all the steps as described in the hello-spinnaker example below.We have used the AWS spinnaker image to directly configure spinnaker in AWS.
www.spinnaker.io/docs/hello-spinnaker.
I am trying to create a sample pipeline as noted in the above example.But while I create trigger in the first step and select jenkins ,the jobs are not getting populated and am getting below error in browser.
GET http://localhost:8084/v2/builds/Jenkins/jobs 429 (Too Many Requests)
The actual issue looks like while retrofit is trying to map the response from jenkins getjobs into the JobList class its finding an attribute _class in jenkins response xml and which is not present in JobList groovy class.Below is how we tried finding the issue
1)Login to AWS Spinnaker instance
2)Gate service is exposed at port 8084.
curl http://localhost:8084/v2/builds/Jenkins/jobs.
{"failureCause":"retrofit.RetrofitError: 429 Too Many Requests","error":"Too Many Requests","message":"429 Too Many Requests","status":429,"url":"http://localhost:8088/jobs/Jenkins","timestamp":1462793944530}
3)Igor service is exposed at port 8088.
curl http://localhost:8088/jobs/Jenkins
{"fallbackException":"java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No fallback available.","failureType":"COMMAND_EXCEPTION","failureCause":"retrofit.converter.ConversionException: org.simpleframework.xml.core.AttributeException: Attribute '_class' does not have a match in class com.netflix.spinnaker.igor.jenkins.client.model.JobList at line 1","error":"Hystrix Failure","message":"jenkins-Jenkins-getJobs failed and no fallback available.","status":429,"timestamp":1462793896853}
When I check in the igor logs,there are few exceptions which are occuring during the getprojects by jenkins poll
Caused by: retrofit.converter.ConversionException: org.simpleframework.xml.core.AttributeException: Attribute '_class' does not have a match in class com.netflix.spinnaker.igor.jenkins.client.model.ProjectsList at line 2

... 39 common frames omitted
Caused by: org.simpleframework.xml.core.AttributeException: Attribute '_class' does not have a match in class com.netflix.spinnaker.igor.jenkins.client.model.ProjectsList at line 2
4)Connect to jenkins and get the jobs as its being done in spinnaker code https://github.com/spinnaker/igor/blob/master/igor-web/src/main/groovy/com/netflix/spinnaker/igor/jenkins/client/JenkinsClient.groovy
resp = requests.get('http://jenkinserverip:8080/api/xml?tree=jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name,jobs[name]]]]]]]]]]',auth=('admin','password'))
print resp.text
<hudson _class='hudson.model.Hudson'><job _class='hudson.model.FreeStyleProject'><name>Hello Build</name></job><job _class='hudson.model.FreeStyleProject'><name>Hello Poll</name></job></hudson>
So as the jenkins response is having the _class attribute ,retrofit is throwing an error at this line http://grepcode.com/file/repo1.maven.org/maven2/com.squareup.retrofit/retrofit/1.9.0/retrofit/RestAdapter.java#383
I wanted to see how can we quickly fix this as it looks like some version in compatibility of jenkins.
I'm seeing a similar issue in spinnaker 1.8.5. I had to reformat the jenkins url from myjenkins.server.com:8080 to http://myjenkins.server.com/ and it corrected the issue.
this is a bug around the jenkins api in later version. I believe 2.2 is the last compatible version, we run 1.6 internally.

How to solve: Error: value of pendingCustomerTokenList must be a collection in flex 4

Have an app that I am creating in flashbuilder 4, java axis 2 web service and mysql.
In my app I have defined a service. I have not had problems with pulling data and inserting data by calling my java functions through the service.
I added a new property and then made it available in flex. It displayed on my label field, but then I ran the app and got the following error:
Error: value of pendingCustomerTokenList must be a collection
at valueObjects::_Super_PendingTokensResponse/set pendingCustomerTokenList()[F:\vEngage\flexworkspace\FBAgentApp\src\valueObjects\_Super_PendingTokensResponse.as:104]

at com.adobe.serializers.utility::TypeUtility$/convertResultHandler()[/Users/sameer/depot/flex/ide_builder/com.adobe.flexbuilder.dcrad/serializers/src/com/adobe/serializers/utility/TypeUtility.as:372]
I looked at the Network Monitor tab and examined the call/response. Response body shows no error, and the Response result shows the data returned by my java axis 2 function. It is all correct.
Ran configure return type again. Let it auto-detect and return type from sample data. The properties returned looked just fine.
Looked at the _Super_PendingTokensResponse.as on line 104
How do I correct this problem?
I think problem in your consuming webservice part.

ssis send mail task: Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The operation has timed out."

SSIS package in question runs a series of stored procedures and fills 13 different excel files with results and sends those excel files to 13 different users in attachments. Package run stops with the message in the title of this question, sometime right in the middle of sending or for example today, on the 4th user. The files get created because I can see them in their directories so only the send mail task is failing. When I go back to visual studio and execute each send task manually, send task works fine even though sometime it still gives me the error yet, still sends the right file to the right person but not thru SSIS package run in SQL server... I tried to delay SMTP processes thinking that might be in the way (to 660000 miliseconds) but did not help. Has this happened to anybody?.. Thanks for all your answers in advance.
Here is the full message for a task that sent the e-mail with attachment regardless the error when task was manually executed...
[Send Mail Task] Error: An error occurred with the following error message: "The operation has timed out.".
Progress: The SendMail task is completed. - 100 percent complete
Task Send Mail Task for Inventory Reports 038 failed
Finished, 12:03:03 PM, Elapsed time: 00:00:00.655
I think I figured it out why this was happening. In case somebody / anybody is interested, here is what I think has happened.
I was trying to expand the timeout period thru a script task, playing with Threading.Thread.Sleep value but I neglected to do the same in my SMTP connection properties. When I changed the timeout value in properties for SMTP connection, error messages stopped coming :)
I wish I could post a picture to show you where exactly that property is located but my reputation failed me!.. :( (less than 10 points yet)
I am in the process of completing all of my changes then I will post again with final result hoping that will resolve all of my problems.
Thanks to all who showed interest.
