Environment

Release : 3.7

Component : Virtual Network Assurance For CA Performance Management

Cause

 Defect: DE457801

Resolution

This issue is fixed in CAPM 3.7 11

Symptom: After VNA upgrade to 3.7.10, Viptela polling for data could fail with error in gateway.log for:  "groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: outFile for class: ViptelaHttpFunction".  This is caused by an extra parameter in a function call not being needed.  Only seen when there is more than 1 page of data read during polling phase for an data type.
Resolution: Resolved the function call by removing the extra parameter.
(3.7.11, DE457801)
