Issue/Introduction
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 with model ID 11154d3
Model GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM has current mh: 11154d3, prevMH = 11154d3
GC GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM exists in DSS with MH 11154d3
Found model GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM with handle 11154d3
Try to find staticGlobalCollects GC GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM
GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM has no staticGlobalCollects contents.
GlobalCollectionImporter.topologyLayout( GlobalCollection:ADMIN_CAPM ) 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.
Environment
Component: SPCCSS
Resolution
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.
