DS 6.9 Jobs with certain conditions do not import properly into GSS 3.x

Products

• Deployment Solution
• Ghost Solution Suite

Issue/Introduction

Certain conditions on jobs do not transfer correctly during import/export or upgrade from Deployment Solution 6.9 to Ghost Solution Suite 3.x

Some notable conditions are OS bit and Bios Version. For example, these conditions created in DS 6.9 job:

• Bios Version > contains > 123
• OS bit > Is > 32
• OS bit > Is > 64

After importing the job with these conditions exported from DS 6.9 into GSS 3.x, the same conditions become:

• User Defined Token > contains > 123
• Processor Type > Is > Power PC
• Processor Type > Is > Unknown

Reverse is also true for jobs exported from GSS 3.x and imported into DS 6.9.

Cause

This is a known issue that is being investigated by Symantec.

Resolution

Conditions must be recreated after the job is imported or the system is upgraded.
