what does the following exception found in ServiceNow_Connector.log mean?

2019-04-22 14:41:33.575 [ERROR] (CA:[email protected]_ServiceNow) com.ca.usm.ucf.servicenow.ServiceNowConnector  - Validation error during subscribe operation.
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: CA:00083:  Error during 'subscribe' operation.  Entity type is not supported: 'Alert'

Environment

Release: SAMBDL99000-4.2-Spectrum-Service Assurance Manager-Promotional Bundle
Component:

Resolution

This call is made during Subscribe operation initiated by catalyst container. Since Alert is not supported catalyst throws an error "java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException" . This is a benign error and will not cause any problem with connector operation. SOI developers will fix the code in the next release of the connector.
