Issue: When importing an xml into modeling gateway, there were errors:
Modeling Gateway import exception: java.lang.Throwable: Unknown attribute identifier_name in model element com.aprisma.tie.parse.C ontainerElement: null:null at com.aprisma.tie.TopologyIEModel.addAttrVal(TopologyIEModel.java:119) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.ModelElement.setAttr(ModelElement.java:241) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.ContainerElement.parseAttrs(ContainerElement.java:174) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.ContainerElement.parse(ContainerElement.java:473) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.ContainerElement.<init>(ContainerElement.java:73) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.DiscoveryElement.parse(DiscoveryElement.java:160) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.DiscoveryElement.<init>(DiscoveryElement.java:43) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.ModuleElement.parseChildren(ModuleElement.java:322) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.ModuleElement.parseModule(ModuleElement.java:227) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.FileElement.parse(FileElement.java:671) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.FileElement.parseXmlFile(FileElement.java:375) at com.aprisma.tie.parse.FileElement.<init>(FileElement.java:118) at com.aprisma.tie.imprt.MgImportMain.startImport(MgImportMain.java:89) at com.aprisma.tie.ModelingGateway.performAction(ModelingGateway.java:305) at com.aprisma.tie.ModelingGatewayMain.main(ModelingGatewayMain.java:155)
Root Cause: ------------------ The export file had "null" device attributes
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:
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
Release: Component: SPCCSS
Resolution
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.
