Issue/Introduction

The following events show a model was created twice in Spectrum:

21/08/2018 16h8min59s BRT 
A model has been created. The model is XXXXXX of type Pingable created by [email protected] 

23/08/2018 17h39min25s BRT 
A model has been created. The model is XXXXXX of type Pingable created by [email protected] 
 

Environment

CA Spectrum

Cause

After the Pingable was modeled in Spectrum SSdb, a restore was performed from a previous SpectroSERVER database save file. This database did not have this model. Then when the Pingable was modeled again, Spectrum used the same model handle. That is the reason we see inconsistent entries in the event table.

Resolution

The DDM and SpectroSERVER databases can fall out of synchronization when you restore one without restoring the other. For example, you back up both databases on Sunday. You create a model on Monday, then experience a system crash and restore your SS database with the Sunday save file. The restored SS database no longer includes the model that you created, but historical records for that model are in the DDM database. Moreover, if you recreate the model, you cannot then reconcile the DDM records from the original model with the new records that were generated for the recreated model. Avoid this kind of conflict by always restoring the DDM database whenever you restore the SpectroSERVER database.
