You could also consider take a try to re-start your On-premises Data Gateway and clear cache of your browser, then try your operation again, check if the issue is solved.

Best regards,

Kris

Hi Kris,

Thank you for your answer.

I uploaded the configuration via web GUI. It was going well several times until the error occured. And then the error came every time.
We don't have an on premises gateway, because I made everything in Azure.

We were just testing Azure Automation as a platform for our configuration management, but meanwhile we decided against Azure Automation (for the time being) because of this problem and data privacy concerns (as I see passwords, that are used in configurations, have to be disclosed to Azure unencrypted; would be nice, if you could give Azure a password that is encrypted via certificate).
