Hi Team,

I am using the Awx.21.0.4 version using RDS as external DataBase.  
The Customized Execution Environment is not getting picked up in projects, templates while I sync & execute them.

It always picks up “Control Plane Execution Environment”. and it should not happen.

Please suggest.

Thanks,  
Jagruti Belani

Also, do you see your custom EEs in the Execution Environment panel in the UI?

You will need to manually assign the templates to use the execution environments, see [https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution\_environments.html#use-an-ee-in-jobs](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/execution_environments.html#use-an-ee-in-jobs)

I tried to use above given instruction. forcefully added customized Execution Environment in Organization, Template but still the Tempalte launch picks up the “controlplane execution environment” why?  
My code deployment is stuck due to this issue as python dependencies inside EE are not being resolved.  
PLease suggest.

Thanks,

Hi Jagruti,

I’m sorry, that sounds really frustrating. Can you share a screenshot (feel free to censor any data that you don’t want public) of where you attached the execution environment to the template you’re running?  
If you could also share the custom execution environment’s api endpoint info? This JSON blob should show that it’s attached to the organization and templates its associated to and it’s related fields. Again please feel free to censor as you need to, we’re just interested in how the execution environment is connected to the rest of the application.

Thanks
