  2. Run the following command to connect to the vco-db

  1. Verify the workflow(s) that has the 'v' flag by running this query:
SELECT id,name FROM vmo_workflow WHERE allowedoperations = 'v';
  1. Update the workflow(s) that have only the 'v' flag to also have the 'e' flag
UPDATE vmo_workflow SET allowedoperations = 've' WHERE allowedoperations = 'v';
  1. Exit the Postgres database:
\q
  1.  Restart all the orchestrator pods:
kubectl -n prelude delete pod -l app=vco-app
