Issue:
When importing an xml into modeling gateway, there were errors:

Modeling Gateway import exception:

Root Cause:
------------------
The export file had "null" device attributes

<Device name="null" model_type="null" model_handle="0x101f112"  />
<Device name="null" model_type="null" model_handle="0x101f113"  />
<Device name="null" model_type="null" model_handle="0x101f114"  />

Issue:
Global Collections were not created even though the output showed the creation:

Model GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH is in remote landscape with model ID 11154d3 
Model GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH has current mh: 11154d3, prevMH = 11154d3 
GC GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH exists in DSS with MH 11154d3 
Found model GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH with handle 11154d3 
Try to find staticGlobalCollects GC GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH 
GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH has no staticGlobalCollects contents. 
GlobalCollectionImporter.topologyLayout( GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM Palmetto General - PGH ) starting 


Root Cause:
------------------
Modeling Gateway export/import is not supporting Huge landscape Handle

Issue:
Device models are created even though the following modeling gateway options were used:

do_not_process_pre_existing_devices_under_container_node = "true" 

export_devices = "false" 


Root Cause:
------------------

This is happening because the device model only has a relation with the Global Collection and not the Topology.  This happens when a model is "removed" from the Topology when it should be "deleted"  from the Topology.

If the devices in the GC do not have a relation with the Topology they will be exported by modeling gateway.

 

Release:
Component: SPCCSS

This is tentatively scheduled to be fixed in future release CA Spectrum 10.3.2.

As a temporary workaround, the import xml file can be edited to remove the null entries for names, the "model_handle" entries in the Global Collections, and if needed, manually delete the device models that are created.
