Troubleshooting Airflow DAG migration to Git [Technical Preview]
Interpret common failures, scan gaps, Git publishing failures, and authentication errors when migrating Cloudera Data Engineering Airflow DAG assets into Git-backed control planes with Cloudera Migration Assistant.
Before you begin
Each resolution builds on Setting up to Cloudera Workflow Orchestrator Git migration prerequisites when credentials or Git provider routes fail.
Symptom
Discovery is empty after scans.
Cause
Incomplete command state or restrictive collection filters masking rows.
Remedy
- Validate command transcripts.
- Temporarily clear filters to confirm that the artifacts exist.
Symptom
Virtual clusters list zero DAGs.
Cause
Knox authentication halted mid-scan (SKIPPED log entries).
Remedy
Work with administrators to reaffirm Cloudera Manager credentials powering the CMA Agent.
Symptom
Duplicate dag_id badges appear.
Cause
Separate virtual clusters authored identical identifiers.
Remedy
Rename offending DAG IDs on the Workloads tab editor in your DAG migration plan.
Symptom
Execution phase 8.1 faults occur.
Cause
Stale local artifact caches on CMA Agents.
Remedy
Rescan Cloudera platform workspaces, then regenerate executions.
Symptom
Git step fails authentication.
Cause
Expired personal access tokens or underscoped PAT scope.
Remedy
Administrators rotate CMA_AGENT_CLUSTER_GIT_TOKEN in the advanced
configuration snippet and recycle CMA Agent
services.
Symptom
Git rejects base branch selection.
Cause
CMA_AGENT_CLUSTER_GIT_BRANCH was deleted upstream.
Remedy
- Restore branch names or refresh configuration.
- Restart CMA Agent services once secrets synchronize.
Symptom
Pull Request links are missing after the run.
Cause
Upstream provider API errors swallowed in CMA Master diagnostics.
Remedy
Inspect Master logs with Git webhook availability from CMA Agent networks.
