Why is tower-manage inventory_import failing with an IntegrityError when run from Ansible Tower?

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Issue

When attempting to update the Ansible Tower inventory using tower-manage inventory_import from a playbook in Tower, you may get output similar to the following:

IntegrityError: update or delete on table \\"main_host\\" violates foreign key constraint \\"main_jobevent_host_id_76cda52c42702dfc_fk_main_host_id\\" on table \\"main_jobevent\\"", "DETAIL:  Key (id)=(1778) is still referenced from table \\"main_jobevent\\"."], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}
  • NOTE: the tower-manage utility was once called awx-manage, then changed to tower-manage and is now called awx-manage again. These terms should be considered synonymous on this page
