Resolution

To fix this issue, make sure the EnvironmentVariables.xml file is present in the root folder of the Cloudhouse Alchemy Compatibility Package.

If you still encounter problems, please contact your Cloudhouse Partner in the first instance (if relevant), otherwise contact Cloudhouse Support for further assistance.

Symptoms

When deploying a Compatibility Package, I receive the following error:

ERROR Cloudhouse.Container.Deployment.Program - Failed:

Cause

This error is caused if the EnvironmentVariables.xml file is not present in the root folder of the Cloudhouse Alchemy Compatibility Package.
