Issue/Introduction

When an MCS profile is deployed successfully, the details windows does not show any  "Last Deployed" date 

 

If we look at the device level, Last deployed fields is populated:

This can be reproduced with any profile.

 

What are we missing? 

Environment

Release : 20.3

Component : UIM - MON_CONFIG_SERVICE

Cause

Working As Designed

Resolution

It is expected that the "Last deployed Date" shows only at the Device Level and not at Group level.

'lastdeployeddate' info for group level profiles has never populated the Group Type Profiles in the Database. 

 

The profiles at a group level are not deployed, but they are only created in the DB.

At a device level, instead, MCS deployes the profiles that are derived from groups -  deployment date at device level is actually visible. 

 

This is not something new in UIM 20.3 but is has always been like this. Below representation from UMP:

Additional Information

If you look at ssev2Profile table, you will be able to see that none of the group profiles (has group_id filed) have a lastDeployedDate for the reasons described above
