Issue/Introduction

CA Gen 8.6 Action Diagram function "Call External" for SOAP web service consumption shows this error on wsdl import: "An item with the same key has already been added." 

Environment

Release : 8.6 Complete 
Component : CA Gen Workstation Toolset

Cause

The wsdl file being imported defines 2 complex types with the same name "ProgramInterface", one for the imports (element name="XYZOperation") and one for the exports (element name="XYZOperationResponse"). The current Gen wsdl parser is not able to handle this.

Resolution

Workaround:
In the wsdl file rename the 2nd complex type to "ProgramInterface1" to allow the Call External function to parse the whole file without error.
The operation "XYZOperation" is then listed as available. After adding the operation you can then see parameters "XYZOperation.ProgramInterface*" in the import view matching and parameters "XYZOperationResponse.ProgramInterface1*" in the export view matching.

Resolution:
A new Gen 8.6 Toolset PTF has been released to resolve this problem: TSN86210/SO14150
