Issue/Introduction

When XOG in custom master object it creates 2 general views properties category for non system partition.

 

Cause

STEPS TO REPRODUCE: 

1. Create custom master object and associate to a partition
2. Make Views changed for non-system partition, like changing Fields or creating a subpage
3. XOG out Views changes so you can XOG it into another environment. See below input file as an example
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<NikuDataBus xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../xsd/nikuxog_read.xsd">
  <Header version="8.0" action="read" objectType="contentPack" externalSource="NIKU">
    <!-- the contentType is used to determine which filter goes where -->
    <args contentType="job_definition" name="order_by_1" value="code"/>
    <args contentType="menu" name="order_by_1" value="code"/>
    <args contentType="view" name="order_by_1" value="code"/>
    <args contentType="process" name="order_by_1" value="code"/>
    <args contentType="object" name="order_by_1" value="code"/>
  </Header>
  <ViewQuery>
    <Filter name="code" criteria="EQUALS">property</Filter>
    <Filter name="object_code" criteria="EQUALS">z_cust_obj</Filter>
    <Filter name="partition_code" criteria="EQUALS">partition10</Filter>
</ViewQuery>
</NikuDataBus>
4. XOG in output file into another environment.
5. Login to your target environment and navigate to Objects and search for newly created object, click on Views and go to partition you made changes to, notice General Properties View displayed twice.

Expected Results: it should only create 1 set of General Views

Actual Results: It created 2 sets of General Views

Environment

Release : 15.5.1, 15.9.2

Component : CA PPM SAAS XML OPEN GATEWAY (XOG)

Resolution

Defect DE54404, Fixed in 15.9 as part of defect DE55232: Subpage of a Custom Sub Object is not created under the Master Object for Partition Units.

Once upgraded to 15.9 and attempt to XOG out an object issue won't be reproducible.
