Checking Move/Copy/Promote history (

Explanation
This is a known issue (filed as CTR-167 in our internal Jira) where the copy operation is trying to copy a file that does not exist. Specifically, it is indexing/indexing.log which corresponds to a "Scan Multibranch Pipeline Log" on the UI. The mentioned log is not there because there are no Branch Sources in your Multibranch Pipeline, therefore no scans are done.
Resolution
Upgrade to release 2.222.1.1 or newer which include Operations Center Context plugin 2.222.0.3 that delivered the fix for this issue.
Workaround
You have two options:
-
If the Multibranch Pipeline job is new, empty and unused, you can delete it to get rid of this error.
-
If you prefer to not delete it, you can just configure the Multibranch Pipeline job to add a Branch Source. After doing this, the Move/Copy/Promote process should work again:
