Recompose of View VMs fail with error "NonCompatibleDeploymentGroup"

I worked on this issue where the user was unable to perform a recompose task on a linked clone pool, that was part of the older version of View Manager. The View Manager had been recently upgraded to version 4.5

The error message included the following -
"VMware.Sim.Fault.InvalidOperationFault, NonCompatibleDeploymentGroup "

After some investigation, I found out that this issue was caused because the linked clone pool was still associated with the old VC_CONFIG_ID in the Composer database. The VC_CONFIG_ID is changed during the upgrade process.

Running the below command on the Composer database resolved the issue.
UPDATE dbo.SVI_DEPLOYMENT_GROUP
SET VC_CONFIG_ID = 'right_id'
WHERE VC_CONFIG_ID = 'wrong_id'

The right VC_CONFIG_ID can be identified from the table  dbo.SVI_VC_CONFIG_ENTRY in the View Composer database. It would be the ID associated with any new pool created after the upgrade.
Another way would be to find the VC_CONFIG_ID from the ADAM database of the View Connection Server.

If this article is of some help, please leave a comment.
