Hyperledger Fabric Invalid Channel create transaction : bad header - hyperledger-fabric

Question

I'm following this guide https://github.com/rohitadivi/Reconfigure-BYFN/blob/master/New-channel-Org3.md to add a third organization to the consortium of the system config of my ./byfn Hyperledger Fabric network. However, when I get to the "Sending config update to orderer" step, I am getting the error Error: Invalid channel create transaction : bad header
Here is my sys_config_update.json

And the configuration update step I am using is this:
/opt/gopath/src/github.com/hyperledger/fabric/peer# peer channel update -f sys_config_update_in_envelope.pb -c mychannel -o orderer.example.com:7050 --tls true --cafile $ORDERER_CA
How do I resolve this?

Answer 1

i just ran into this, i'm not sure if this'll help you but it turned out i was running a fabric-tools:1.2.0 on a x86_64-1.1.0 orderer. I versioned them together and it worked for me
