java.lang.IllegalStateException: Expected BEGIN_OBJECT but was STRING at line 1 column 3 path $[0]

I am using 3.0.1 version of OpenBaton NFVO, and 3.0.0 version of Generic VNFM to deploy VNFs (iperf server and client). However, I face this error while launching NSR - While using the same NSR JSON file in the latest versions of openbaton, I can do it flawlessly. Are the changes to be made in JSON, or is the 3.0.1 version of OPENBATON NFVO functional??

I am using the below JSOn to do this -

_{ "name":"NSD iperf + privateIPs", "vendor":"FOKUS", "version":"1.0", "vld":[ { "name":"private" } ], "vnfd":[ { "name":"iperf-client", "vendor":"FOKUS", "version":"1.0", "lifecycle_event":[ { "event":"CONFIGURE", "lifecycle_events":[ "server_configure.sh" ] }, { "event":"INSTANTIATE", "lifecycle_events":[ "install.sh" ] } ], "vdu":[ { "vm_image":[ "ubuntu" ], "scale_in_out":1, "vnfc":[ { "connection_point":[ { "virtual_link_reference":"private", "interfaceId":0 } ] } ], "vimInstanceName":["test"] } ], "virtual_link":[ { "name":"private" } ], "deployment_flavour":[ { "flavour_key":"m1.small" } ], "type":"client", "endpoint":"generic", "vnfPackageLocation":"https://github.com/openbaton/vnf-scripts.git" }, { "name":"iperf-server", "vendor":"FOKUS", "version":"1.0", "lifecycle_event":[ { "event":"INSTANTIATE", "lifecycle_events":[ "install.sh", "install-srv.sh" ] } ], "virtual_link":[ { "name":"private" } ], "vdu":[ { "vm_image":[ "ubuntu" ], "scale_in_out":1, "vnfc":[ { "connection_point":[ { "virtual_link_reference":"private", "interfaceId":0 } ] } ], "vimInstanceName":["test"] } ], "deployment_flavour":[ { "flavour_key":"m1.small" } ], "type":"server", "endpoint":"generic", "vnfPackageLocation":"https://github.com/openbaton/vnf-scripts.git" } ], "vnfdependency":[ { "source":{ "name":"iperf-server" }, "target":{ "name":"iperf-client" }, "parameters":[ "private" ] } ] }

Your issue is most probably due to mismatching versions between the NFVO and the generic VNFM.
