but the build failed.

Can you help me to fix the issue?
I tried to import ovirt-engine-appliance ova(ovirt-engine-appliance-4.3-20190610.1.el7.ova) from ovirt-engine, but I got error as following: Failed to load VM configuration from OVA file: /var/tmp/ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ovaNo idea why this failed.I guess ovirt-engine-appliance-4.2-20190121.1.el7.ova has more than CentOS7.6.It has CentOS + oVirt engine. The only major use for it is by hosted-engine --deploy. In theory you can try importing it elsewhere, but I do not recall reports about people that tried this and whether it works. Best regards,
